Preserving Voices of the Past: Digitizing the John Burrison Georgia Folklore Archives, Part 1
The John Burrison Georgia Folklore Archives is comprised of more than 1,600 audio recordings that document diverse folk traditions across Georgia and the Southeast. Efforts are underway to digitize and catalog these fragile magnetic storage records, making them accessible to researchers. Despite challenges like poor recording quality and dated language, the collection offers invaluable insights into our region’s rich cultural heritage.
