General note
All names and spellings have been preserved as originally written on the audio reel boxes which may include outdated, racist or otherwise harmful language. In addition, some audio reel recordings contain racist stereotypes and language that is outdated, racist or otherwise harmful. This has been flagged in files 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 32, 65, 73, 90, 96, 97, 101, and 119 in keeping with Special Collections & Archives' approach to language in archival descriptions, which prioritizes speaking openly about and clearly identifying problematic, harmful, and otherwise offensive records in the department’s holdings. This approach, while potentially upsetting, allows for the critical assessment and questioning of historical material by contemporary researchers.
