Abstract | Field recordings of Sacred Harp shape-note singing from the "Original Sacred Harp" by unidentified white residents of Buies Creek, N.C., and Cullman, Ala. One tape documents two small group sessions set up by Dr. Julietta Haynes, a white historian and collector, at her home in Buies Creek, Harnett County, N.C., in 1969 and 1970, and includes 54 selections. The other tapes record a singing at Cullman Courthouse in Alabama in July 1971 featuring many more singers and more than 100 selections. The collection also includes supporting documentation created by former Southern Folklife Collection staff. Documentation contains technical information on the recordings, as well as additional information on the content of the recordings, such as selection titles and the number of singers present per selection. |

Since August 2017, we have added ethnic and racial identities for individuals and families represented in collections. To determine identity, we rely on self-identification; other information supplied to the repository by collection creators or sources; public records, press accounts, and secondary sources; and contextual information in the collection materials. Omissions of ethnic and racial identities in finding aids created or updated after August 2017 are an indication of insufficient information to make an educated guess or an individual's preference for identity information to be excluded from description. When we have misidentified, please let us know at wilsonlibrary@unc.edu.
