The collection also includes hundreds of digitized audio and video files, books, transcripts, clippings, and research on everything from turpentine to suckerfish.
Neat Stuff: Those Wailing Tudors
The library recently acquired the out-of-print 11 volume set of scores titled Tudor Church Music. Designated a Monument of Music, this set is one of the most scholarly editions of works by the Tudor composers. Represented in these volumes are works by William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, John Taverner, Orlando Gibbons, Robert White, Thomas Tomkins, and other minor composers. For many of these composers, this set provides the only published scholarly version of the work.
Archives gets the prize!
The VSU Archives and Laurie Sommers, ethnomusicologist, have been awarded the 2007 Brenda McCallum Award for “exceptional work dealing with folklife archives” from the American Folklore Society. Award winners were: Dr. Laurie Sommers, Deborah Davis (Archivist), Michael Holt (Archives Staff member), John Taylor (Archives Webmaster), Stacey Wright (Student Assistant), and Jack Fisher (Acquisitions Librarian). This prize honors the South Georgia Folklife Collection, a combination of the physical collection and a 500+ page website documenting Folklife in South Georgia.
GALILEO adds Georgia Official and Statistical Register
“The Georgia Official and Statistical Register was published from 1923-1990 by the Georgia Archives. Considered an important reference work for historical research, the Register covers Georgia’s executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, providing biographical sketches of elected and other state officials. Georgia members of U.S. Congress and federal judges are included, as are county officials and regents of the university system. The Register contains election returns, provides basic reference data on Georgia counties, and covers Georgia miscellany, such as the state flag, state flower, state song, rosters of Georgia governors, and legal holidays” (from Georgia Official and Statistical Register).

Odum Library adds Theatre in Video database
Odum Library is pleased to add the Theatre in Video database to its collection of 280+ databases:
Theatre in Video contains more than 250 of the world’s most important plays, together with more than 100 video documentaries, online in streaming video—more than 500 hours in all. These definitive performances, by leading actors and directors, have been painstakingly licensed from a wide range of copyright holders. They are now delivered to you over the Internet, in a revolutionary new format developed specifically for drama.
From the most important productions of Shakespeare to rare, in-depth footage focusing on the work of Samuel Beckett, Theatre in Video offers more than 500 hours of online streaming video, available electronically for the first time. With live television broadcasts of New York productions in the 50s, contemporary revivals of classic works and experimental performances from the 60s and 70s, and other performances, Theatre in Video covers a wide range of 20th century theatre history. Unlike Hollywood adaptations, these are the actual original productions, captured and recorded while performed for a live theatre audience. (Excerpt from Alexander Street Press web site)
