This collection of audio recordings provides primary data on singers, musicians, and others in the Upper Saint John River Valley during the period 1949 through 1978 (most date from 1970 through 1974). It contains a wealth of local songs and musicians and provides a resource of samples of French as it is spoken in the Saint John Valley. Twenty-four of the cassettes are devoted primarily to singers and to songs, three primarily to instrumental music, and twelve to interviews. There are three cassettes of concerts and six tapes of meetings or lectures. Three tapes appear to be accoustic dubs of other tapes, LP recordings, or broadcasts. A number of the recordings contain interviews (mostly in French) which may contain oral histories or other information. Several of the recordings appear to have been of public events, such as meetings, concerts, and dances.

Notes
-
The audio recordings appear to have been made between 1970 and 1974. One cassette of a "Velliee du Bons Vieux Temps" in 1978 was obviously added later by an unknown person. There is also one recording which appears to be an acoustic copy of disk recordings made in 1949. A number of recordings contain interviews which may contain oral histories or other information. Several of the recordins appear to have been of public events. Since Mr. Michaud appears to have reculded previously recorded cassettes, some of this material may be extraneous to this collections of some of the label data may refer to materials no longer present on the recordings. This has a wealth of local songs and local musicians and provides a wonderful source of camples of French asit is spoken in the Saint John Valley.
