Scope and Content Note

This series consists of phonograph records and accompanying documentation created by the Education Department for use as an education enrichment device in small, rural schools.

The records consists of 38 disks plus two transcription disks. The recordings are broken up into three groups– Environment, English, and Regional Studies relating to specific storylines or topics such as bird calls or etiquette. The vast majority of the records relate to nature or conservation related topics, which is partially reflective of the rural locations that these educational recordings were likely to be employed in. Exact content of the two extra transcription disks is unknown.
