Background

Arrangement:

Folders have been arranged alphabetically by record label name and then chronologically. Occasionally, more than one catalog, or type of catalog, was issued by a manufacturer within a single time period, so some folders have overlapping date ranges. The finding aid was restructured and had an addenda added in 2023. The addenda is in alphabetical and chronological order in the manner of the rest of the collection.
