Tape records (journals)

This item consists of two journals used by NB Tindale from 1963-1988 to keep track of his later magnetic tape and VCR recordings.

The two volumes are entitled:

  1. Tape Records Journal, volume 1, 1963-1977

  2. VCR and Tape Records Journal, volume 2, 1977-1988



Volume 1 contains the following headings:

  • 'Wongkanguru tribe data from Mick Mclean recorded 26 Aug.1963'

  • 'Interview with Mr John Irrgang, aged survivor of the Killalapannina Mission'

  • 'Tape Records from Palm Island'

  • 'Tape Recordings since my Retirement in Oct 1965'.



Volume 1 also contains notes and correspondence relating to Tindale's speech and sound collection as well as loose papers.
