Estonian Sound Recordings from the German Prisoner-of-War Camps in 1916-1918
This book focuses on the sound recordings of ethnic Estonian informants,
prepared between 1916 and 1918 in five German prisoner-of-war camps. Before
1918, Estonia was part of the Russian empire, and during World War I ethnic
Estonian conscripts fought in the Russian army. The duration of available
audio material is about one hour and it is presented on the CD accompanying
the book. The original audio material is preserved in two archives: wax rolls
at the Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin-Dahlem (Phonogramm-Archiv) and shellac
discs at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Lautarchiv). This volume
consists of nine chapters written by authors working in diverse fields such
as archival or folklore studies, history, linguistics, and musicology.
