The UC Santa Barbara Library is pleased to announce the conclusion of a 2+ year "Hidden Collections" grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) to catalog a portion of the commercially issued ethnic and foreign 78rpm discs in the library's collection. To date, over 18,000 78rpm discs were cataloged with funding from CLIR and added to WorldCat and our local library catalog. To browse what we've cataloged, you can use this link: http://pegasus.library.ucsb.edu/F/?func=find-c&local_base=SBA01PUB&ccl_term=wnew%3Dnew+and+clir&adjacent=N The discs were primarily from the Edouard Pecourt Collection, the Bruce Bastin/Interstate Music collection, the Roberto Eyzaguirre collection, as well as other recordings from Latin America, France, Spain, Africa, and elsewhere. Since the grant, the library has also acquired the 78rpm collection of Don Hill, a portion of Rainer Lotz's collection focusing on ethnic and international discs, and the collection of Benno Haupl. Current cataloging staff are cataloging these collections as well. Discs from these collections that fit the parameters for inclusion in the DAHR or the National Jukebox are being digitized for online access. Copies of any discs can be requested through our catalog ( http://pegasus.library.ucsb.edu/) using your Special Collections Research Account (http://researchspecial.library.ucsb.edu/). Please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance using our collections. David Seubert UCSB
