Sephardic Song and Oral Literature online

[pinnolis <pinnolis...>]

Dear Friends:

Many of you will be thrilled to learn that UC Davis, as part of the Digital 
Libraries Initiative, has mounted much of the archive online from the 
collections of Samuel Armistead, Joseph Silvanman and Israel Katz.
Armistead, of course, did one of the largest bibliographies and collection of 
Sephardic materials, starting nearly 50 years ago. This is an online 
bibliography, but also a searchable database of recorded music, field 
recordings, oral history and oral literature. It is truly remarkable. There 
are transcripts to follow while you listen to the field recording excerpts! 
It's keyword searchable in Spanish. There are also extensive histories online 
and other explanatory notes and articles full text. Try it, it's incredible. 
This is for everyone interested in the Sephardic heritage.

Here's the URL.
