Scope and Contents
The Vincent Voice Library contains taped utterances (speeches, performances, lectures, interviews, news broadcasts, etc.) by over 50,000 persons from all walks of life recorded over the last 100 years. From 1912 to 1973, G. Robert Vincent, a sound engineer and audio collector, created the original library, while from 1974 to 1999, Dr. Maurice Crane, a professor of humanities at Michigan State University, added recordings to the library. From 2000 onward, recordings are being added under the direction of the head of Special Collections, MSU Library. Some of the recordings have been gifts of individuals.
The recordings were collected from a variety of sources and many were recorded from public broadcasts. The recordings were either recorded directly on or transferred to 7 1/4 inch reel-to-reel magnetic tape with a recording speed of 7.5 inches per second in monoaural. These tapes are in the process of being digitized using a Symantec analog/digital converter with a sampling rate of 44.4 kilohertz and 16-bit monoaural capture.
For the National Gallery of the Spoken Word, we have grouped the recordings into collections organized around the names of speakers wherever possible. For the larger collections, we have also grouped recordings into series.
