content: This series contains Lynch's sound recordings, the bulk of which are from his fieldwork. The recordings appear to primarily contain interviews, lectures, and songs. There are recordings from the Munda Languages Project focused on the Nihali and Nahali language, and include numerous songs. The majority of fieldwork recordings are from Agra in 1994-1995. Included are lectures, interviews, and conference recordings, and songs. There are also several interviews with Dalit activist Madhumaya Jayant. These recordings appear to have a numbering system devised by Lynch, and those numbers are reflected in the recording titles. The university related sound recordings appear to be chiefly interviews and course lectures. The commercial sound recordings include commercially produces lectures and Indian music.

The sound recordings are arranged chronologically. Information on the box and tape labels has been transcribed, however some of the handwriting is illegible. The archivist has assigned an item number to each recording.

The sound recordings have been arranged into three subseries.
11.1 Field Recordings, 1962-2006; 11.2 University Lectures, Interviews, Exams, and Unlabelled, 1996-circa 2006; 
11.3 Commercial Recordings, circa 1970-circa 2002
