Louis Shotridge made eight sound recordings among the Northern Tlingit and Tsimshian peoples in 1917 and 1918, while working for the Penn Museum.  He made the recordings using a cylinder phonograph and shipped these to Penn.  The recordings were transferred to the Archives of Traditional Music at Indiana University, Bloomington in 1961 for preservation and transfer to a safer medium. *
