Re: [ARSCLIST] Gennett Project update
Sure, but you'll have to either 1) go to Indianapolis, or 2) join the
Indiana Historical Society ($40.00), contact their archivist and have
them do the search and make you copies. Depending on where you are
located it's probably cheaper to do it the second way, even though you
have to join before they'll make you any copies.
They do not allow you to bring any scanners or cameras into the archive
rooms, either, so you can't do it yourself. That's why I spent 3 days
copying the info I needed directly from the cards... longhand. I managed
to get them all, as well as sore fingers.
Worth it, though.

My favorite find? It was the discovery of microphone/musician placement
diagrams on the backs of some of the cards from Richmond, 1926, when
Gennett was first engineering recordings electrically. I was stunned and
pleased, to say the least!
