Harriet Frishmuth life and work CD recordings (2) - Made from original 12 small reel to reel tapes from the Harriet Frishmuth Papers in Special Collection Research Department. Recorded by a technician from Media Services Department -Syracuse University Library. First two minutes of each transcribed tape is at a very fast speed due the quality of the original tapes. The technician tried to correct the speed to get the best quality sound as possible. Also because of the equipment that was used in recording the original tapes there is a background noise that could not be corrected. Transcript by Leah Rosenblatt, researcher, is in Box 11. Permanently transferred to Belfer Laboratory and Archive, 6/03 (DLC)

Special Collections Research Center has the papers of more than 60 sculptors, including Anna Hyatt Huntington, James Earle Fraser and his wife Laura Gardin Fraser, and Brenda Putnam. Please see the SCRC Subject Index for a complete listing.
