The Rigler and Deutsch Index of Recorded Sound, also known as the Rigler Deutsch Index, is a union catalog collocation of the U.S. holdings of 78 rpm records in the collections of the Library of Congress Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division; the Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound at the New York Public Library; Belfer Audio Laboratory and Archive at Syracuse University; the Yale Collection of Historical Sound Recordings at Yale University; and the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound at Stanford University. == History == The Rigler Deutsch Index was characterized as a cooperative, ground-breaking effort. Before its creation, sound recordings on the 78 rpm format were typically uncataloged and difficult to locate, as it was unclear where assets were held -- although some collections were organized by label name, matrix number, etc. The Rigler Deutsch Index was created by the Associated Audio Archivists Committee (AAA)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arsc-audio.org/committees/aaa-committee.html )〕 of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) in 1984. The AAA Committee is made up of elected members from each of the participating institutions. This committee conducts large research projects that provide solutions that are critically needed within the library and archive world, like the Rigler Deutsch Index project.〔 As the institutions met to see if they had overlapping holdings -- and cataloged records -- the need for a shared solution became clear. Funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities was obtained to start a series of planning and organization meetings in October 1976. These meetings led to an the publication of an initial planning study by the Association for Recorded Sound Collections that was conducted in 1978 along with Yale University's preliminary bibliography of journals that would be used in the project, also from 1978. One outcome of this process was the creation of ''Rules for Archival Cataloging of Sound Recordings,'' as traditional cataloging methods did not meet all of the needs for recorded sound.〔 Another was the publication of ''A Discotopology Primer,'' that was used to guide cataloging and classification of the project. Funding was made easier by the fact that the University of Maryland had received a Ford Foundation grant and had successfully completed a project for its International Piano Archives, where they used an automated system to create microfilm and an index of its holdings.〔 Philanthropist Lloyd E. Rigler provided financial support with funds from his company with business partner and record collector Lawrence E. Deutsch, who pre-deceased the project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.classicartsshowcase.org/founders-profile/ )〕 A National Endowment for the Humanities grant and the Hewlett Foundation and the Ledler Foundation underwrote the project.〔〔 Rigler became involved in the project out of an interest in creating a library of opera recordings. He had reached out to David Hall at what was then called New York Public Library's Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives, had learned of AAA's efforts, and agreed to provide matching funds for the Rigler Deutsch Index.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rigler-Deutsch Index」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
