Whit Ozier Sound Archive

This collection contains 130,000 78 RPM recordings, principally of jazz and popular music, dating from the earliest days of recorded music through the 1950s; thousands of radio station transcription discs; and more than 100 cylinder recordings. Operating models of older types of playback equipment, such as an Edison cylinder player and an old Victrola, are also included in this collection. Access to the archive is provided by the Rigler and Deutsch Record Index. Originally a gift from Whit Ozier, the collection has been supplemented by additional gifts. One such gift from Anthony Tilmans was accompanied by a database of over seven thousand items from his personal collection. This database will soon be available via the UNT Music Library website.
