Permissions for reproduction of audio materials for research are held in the collection control files. Standard copyright regulations apply.
 

Provenance:

These materials were generated for and by the tenth anniversary conference of CPM, "Crossroads: Intersections in American Vernacular Music" and compiled afterwards. The audio tapes were recorded during the conference presentations by CPM sound archivist Bruce Nemerov. Print file contact sheets were produced and given to CPM by MTSU Photographic Services, who took the images. The manuscripts were sent in to CPM by the participants after the conference at the request of the director. The manuscript CD-R was sent in after the conference by a participant.
