| Abstract: |
The Mick Moloney Irish-American Music and Popular Culture Collection documents nearly
a century of Irish and Irish-American music in all its permutations from Tin Pan Alley
through the folk revival and beyond. The collection is comprised of 78 RPM records,
33 1/3 RPM LPs, 45 RPM records, and audio cassettes collected by Mick Moloney over
the course of four decades. While the majority of the discs are commercial recordings
of Irish music released on American labels, the collection also contains releases
on Irish, English and Scottish labels representing both Irish music and closely related
musical traditions in those countries. A small number of non-commercial acetates and
privately made recordings are also found in the collection.
