Lost Voices: Rediscovering the Texas Folk Art Survey

Lost Voices: Rediscovering the Texas Folk Art Survey is an audio and image digitization project that preserves the Texas Folk Art Survey. In the three decades since it was conducted in 1984, the recorded interviews, photographs, and related materials have remained in analog form, mostly unknown and inaccessible. "Lost Voices" ensures long-term digital preservation of this important snapshot of a much-changed state and its people, and will make its content accessible to researchers, ethnographers, and to the very population from which it sprang: the people of Texas.
