Earlier this year, a collection of Standing Rock recordings done by George Herzog in 1928 was inducted into the prestigious National Recordings Registry. According to a recent press report, the 128 recordings, originally done on wax cylinders in Fort Yates, have been newly digitized by the Archives of Traditional Music in Indiana, where the precious originals are cared for. Sitting Bull College Library has copies of a previous version on CD in addition to accompanying documents available for listening and reading by the public.You can read more about the collection here
