The Noah Angell Collection consists of unedited digital media documenting the African American gospel musician, Connie B. Steadman, of the Badgett Sisters, a folk and gospel group from Yanceyville in Caswell County, North Carolina. North Carolina-born artist, Noah Angell, created the born-digial audio and video materials as part of a documentary work on Steadman. Both audio and video files found in the collection feature interviews conducted by Angell with Steadman, as well as documentation of rural North Carolina, including audio field recordings and video landscape scenes. Audio files are on .wav. files, while video files are on .mp4 and .mov. The collection also contains supporting documentation, such as sound reports and export logs from Angell's audio recording device and video production software. These files are on .csv, .txt., and .log file formats.
