Description:
Hispano Music and Culture of the Northern Rio Grande: The Juan B. Rael Collection is an online presentation of an ethnographic field collection documenting religious and secular music of Spanish-speaking residents of rural Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado. In 1940, Juan Bautista Rael of Stanford University, a native of Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico, used disc recording equipment supplied by the Archive of American Folk Song (American Folklife Center archive) to document alabados (hymns), folk drama, wedding songs, and dance tunes. The recordings included in the collection were made in Alamosa, Manassa, and Antonito, Colorado, and in Cerro and Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico. In addition to these recordings, the collection includes manuscript materials and publications authored by Rael which provide insight into the rich musical heritage and cultural traditions of this region.

  • "Last Checked" means the URL was verified but the summary might be outdated.
  • "Physical Location" refers to a place where items available online may also be accessed in person, whether publicly or through appointment.
  • "Online Access" refers to a level of remote accessibility of the resource:
    • “Full” means that the resource puts no restrictions on access to its content whether via paywalls or other means. However, this does not imply that items can be downloaded or accessed in ways that may infringe copyright or intellectual property nor does it imply that all of the items in the archive, collection, or project are available to access whether due to ongoing preservation/digitalisation work or other reasons.
    • “Partial” means that some of the items in the resource are not available online or only available as extracts, whether due to access requirements or something else.
    • “Catalogue” means that a resource only makes something like a catalogue, guide, or finding aids available online. This can be indicated as:
      • “Catalogue only”, generally for physical collections. Where possible, the location of the resource is noted.
      • “Partial, Catalogue”, when some items are available online alongside a full catalogue.
      • “Catalogue, Subscription / Purchase”, when full access to the items online is possible only via a paywall or direct purchase.
    • “None” means the resource has no online services and must be visited in person or that it does not yet have anything available online. The inclusion of such resources is limited to things that feel highly relevant.

This system is far from perfect. It was born largely out of the needs of the project and has grown with it.
