Provenance

Notes

Custodial History: At the time the old school at 5th. & Michigan was being cleaned out for the transfer to the new Sturgeon Bay Middle School at 14th. & Michigan, these LP records were found in the attic. As they were to be destroyed, Mark Moeller was allowed to take what he wanted. Choosing intact LP's, this box contains those LP's that he could physically carry home. It is unknown if any other LP's survived and are in the public sector, or if all remaining LP's were destroyed.

General Notes

Note

Notes: Feb. 17, 2001 - Condition Notes: These LP records are glass-based and are extremely fragile. 2 of the records are already broken. Because of their fragility, attempts will be made to transfer the recordings to a different media, such as audio cassettes or CD's. This would provide a much better access for researchers interested in listening to these recordings. Status: OK
