Is all the archival material available online?

0

A limited amount of archival material is available online. Our ability to post material is dependent on intellectual property issues and staff resources. The commercial recordings in our collection can be accessed online via the Smithsonian Folkways Web site. Users can access 30 second samples of all the individual tracks from the Folkways, Cook, Paredon, Dyer-Bennet, Fast Folk, and Monitor record label collections. These include all the tracks released on commercial albums but not the out-takes. We do not have the rights to post the out-takes. Users can pay to download the entire track or album through the Smithsonian Folkways site. There the liner notes for most of 3000 recordings are also available.
