content: The majority of the sound recordings are field recordings on reel to reel audio tape made by de Laguna, Catharine McClellan, and Marie-Françoise Guédon made from 1952-1969  The recordings contain vocabulary, songs and speeches during potlatches and other ceremonies. Tlingit and several Athabascan languages including Ahtna (Atna), Tutchone, Upper Tanana, and Tanacross are represented.  Notes on these field recordings can be found in Series 2 (Field Research) and in [Audio ephemera] in this series. 

Also among the sound reels are copies of John R. Swanton's Tlingit recordings and Hiroko Hara's Hare Indian recordings as well as some Laguna made for Science for the Blind.  

All information provided in this list were copied from the reel boxes and paper inserts.  Although the handwritten descriptions on the boxes appear to have been written by de Laguna, not all the reels were examined to confirm that the descriptions match the contents of the reels.
