Acquisition
The 1942 accrual included all materials pertaining to Linscott's 1941 fieldwork, and
the 1983 accrual was a bequest from her estate.
Accruals
Collection materials arrived in two accruals: the first in 1942, and the second in
1983.
Processing History
Since the acquisition of the collection, various American Folklife Center staff,
interns and volunteers did preliminary processing work on this collection. Some of
the clippings were photocopied and a basic arrangement was made of manuscript
materials. Researchers identified individuals in some photos. Two early inventories
were made in the 1990s. In 2000, Marcia K. Segal continued processing the collection,
until processing was completed. The Linscott Collection was the “test case”
collection from the American Folklife Center used for a prototype database project.
Staff in the Recorded Sound section, AFC, and the National Digital Library Program
worked together to decide what materials would be digitized, what metadata to
capture, and how to present the metadata in the database.
Separated Material
Documents and recordings belonging and unrelated to Linscott's collecting activities
were returned to the family.
Copyright Status
Duplication of the collection materials may be governed by copyright and other

Biographical Notes
Eloise Hubbard Linscott (1897-1978) was born Eloise Barrett Hubbard, and raised in
Taunton, Massachusetts, with her two sisters and three brothers. She studied at
Radcliffe College from 1916-1920, and earned an A.B. in English literature. Among other
classes, she took The History of Choral Music, with Archibald T. Davison, also the
conductor of the Harvard Glee Club, and who in addition to his own noted scholarship (on
various aspects of music), was the mentor of composer Randall Thompson. While Linscott
made at least one attempt to further her education, her studies at Radcliffe were the
extent of her higher education. After she married Charles Hardy Linscott (in 1921), they
lived in Needham, Massachusetts, and spent summers in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. New
England was Eloise Hubbard Linscott’s home for her entire life. The Linscotts had one
son, John Hubbard Linscott, born in 1929.
In interviews, Linscott offered two recollections of how she began her fieldwork. One
story was that the songs she collected, when published, would fill a void where no music
book on traditional songs, such as those she knew as a girl, existed to date. The other
story was that she simply wanted to preserve the legacy of a musical tradition within
her own family. Friends took an interest in her work and wished to participate, and the
project grew from that point. At some stage her work seemed to take on a life of its
own. The culmination of ten years’ work (by her own estimate) was Folk Songs of Old New England (Macmillan, 1939). Although she continued her
research and fieldwork, with the intention of publishing other books, Folk Songs of Old New England was her sole known publication.
However, she was a frequent speaker at various clubs and venues, and was also
interviewed for at least one known radio broadcast (in 1955; see SR418 in this
collection). Due to ill health, Linscott sometimes had to limit her travels, but she
maintained her interest in folksongs until her death.
Linscott used her own household funds to finance the first ten years of her research.
Around 1940, she gained sponsorship from Musicraft and in 1941 from the Library of
Congress, whose Archive of Folk Song (now incorporated into the American Folklife
Center) loaned to Linscott a recording machine and blank discs. The Library’s proviso
was that the master recordings would be given to the Library of Congress. Copies of
Linscott’s fieldwork from November and December 1941 (both recordings and typed
fieldnotes), were accessioned by the Library in 1942. Linscott benefited from the advice
of Alan Lomax, who was a regular correspondent with her during this time, in his role as
the assistant-in-charge of the Archive of Folk Song. Linscott’s enterprising and
tenacious style, as well as her energy and enthusiasm, earned her the nickname “the
Tornado” from Herbert D. (Bert) Farnham (one of her informants). Her fieldnotes reflect
a real fondness for those people whose work she recorded, and who opened their homes and
shared their stories.
Over the course of her life as a collector, she gathered approximately 2500 recordings
(according to her own estimate), on cylinders, discs, and tapes. Much of the fieldwork,
gathered before, during, and after World War II, reflects the urgent feeling that these
traditions must be gathered and preserved for future generations.
Scope and Content
This collection of sound recordings, photographs, and manuscripts (including
correspondence and other research materials) was compiled by Eloise Hubbard Linscott and
represents her research for her book, Folksongs of Old New England (1939), and her
unpublished manuscripts and folk music research through about 1955. Among Linscott's
many correspondents were Phillips Barry, Ruth Benedict, Marshall Bartholomew, Samuel P.
Bayard, James M. Carpenter, Harold J. Coolidge, Jr., Helen Hartness Flanders, Carrie B.
Grover, Sarah Gertrude Knott, Lois Lenski, National Folk Festival, Frank G. Speck,
Hendrik Willem van Loon, various correspondents at the Library of Congress including
Archibald MacLeish, Alan Lomax, Benjamin A. Botkin, Harold Spivacke, and others; and
various publishers, recording companies, radio stations, and administrators of summer
camps. Twenty-five glass-based lacquer discs of Lincott's field recordings with field
notes were accessioned by the Library of Congress Archive of American Folk Song in 1942.
The recordings include folk music, folk songs, children's songs, sea songs, lumberjack
songs, fiddle tunes, and dance music, including dance calls. Other sound recordings in
the collection are radio broadcasts, lectures delivered by Linscott, recordings of
Linscott's family, and a few American Indian and French Canadian songs. The collection
includes music transcriptions of fiddle tunes, some made by Samuel Preston Bayard, circa
1944; and Linscott's transcriptions of music and lyrics. Photographs include pictures of
Linscott's informants, her documentation of events and trips, and photographs of New
England landscapes. A manuscript of poetry by Arthur Treadwell Walden titled "Songs of
the Yukon Trail," and a small book of poetry, "Passing Thoughts," by H. Rae Farnham are
included; both were informants of Linscott. Included with Linscott's estate, received at
the Library in 1983, is a manuscript music notebook, undated, but circa 1815, belonging
to Samuel Reed, and to Linscott's great grandmother, Elizabeth Foster Reed, containing
popular songs and dance music, marches, and music from the War of 1812. The collection
also includes administrative correspondence related to the digitization of selected
collection materials in 2002.

Series III: Graphic Materials
200 black-and-white photos, 30 film
negatives
Original and copy negatives are filed sequentially, by digital ID number. Since
not all prints have matching negatives, there are gaps between numbers. The prints
are filed alphabetically within “People A-Z,” and geographically in “Landscapes
and Views.” The result is that the digital IDs reflect digital rather than
sequential order. The digital IDs are given below, in the order in which they are
housed in the boxes. In photos with multiple individuals, names given reflect
left-to right identification of individuals depicted.

Appendix A: Notes on Linscott’s transcription of personal names
Due to the nature of fieldwork in general, which often requires that a collector
records information rapidly, Linscott used abbreviations as she wrote down
information. Some were standard (“Chas” for “Charles”), but others were
non-standard (“K. M’teers” for “Katahdin Mountaineers”) and could lead to
confusion. In addition, she made some errors when noting names, and her subsequent
corrections were uneven. This led to difficulty in ascertaining the correct
spelling of names for certain performers.
Linscott wrote about both songs and performers while making the recordings, so
errors of transcription and abbreviation occur with some frequency. A selection of
the outstanding examples, along with further information, appears below. The first
column shows the name as it appears in this collection, as well as other
documentation related to the Linscott Collection. The second column shows the
alternate name(s). The third column gives the name as it appears in its erroneous
form.
Will E. Ayer is mistakenly identified as Will Avery in several instances. Linscott
corrected some of her handwritten references to him, but not all. Correspondence
in the collection indicates the correct name is Will Ayer. As a published author,
his name appears as Will E. Ayer.
John (or Johnny) Hutchinson, the second cousin of Olin Hutchinson (see the
relevant fieldnotes), was called John Hudson in some of Linscott’s documentation.
She did not correct every instance, but the reference to another Hutchinson puts
the weight of evidence on the name Hutchinson.
The performer Isaac McNeilly (as identified in the November-December 1941 field
notes) is identified in the index cards as “James McNeilly.”
Metosanya, also referred to as “Princess Metosanya,” was a performer from Beverly,
Massachusetts. Linscott's notes also refer to her as “Mrs. Karl Holt” (Mildred S.
Holt). Because Linscott refers to her most often as “Metosanya,” this is the name
used in the collection, with “Princess Metosanya” used as an alternate name.
In Linscott's notes, Needahbeh is sometimes called “Chief” Needahbeh. The name
“Needahbeh” appears in two variations in the collection materials (in Linscott’s
handwriting): “Needahbeh” and “Nee dah beh.” Online searches and examples in the
Linscott correspondence (from Needahben) led to the final decision on the most
appropriate presentation of the name.
Dick Richardson, a noted fiddler whose work has been collected by others, is
usually named "Burt" in Linscott’s notes. However, his name appears in the Library
of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF) as "Dick Richardson," and he released a
cassette entitled, "Dick Richardson: Old Time New Hampshire Fiddler."

Other transcription or editing errors
Folk Songs of Old New England contains the names of
certain people whose performances Linscott recorded, and with whom she
corresponded, but whose names were misspelled in publication (and may have been
subsequently handwritten incorrectly by Linscott). It is possible that these
spelling errors were editorial oversights, but it is also likely that Linscott
misspelled them when writing the names down, and did not discover the errors. In
the case of Frances Horn, Linscott names her as “Frances Merrow Horn” in the book;
after the book’s publication, Frances Horn wrote to Linscott and explained that
this was not her middle name, although it was a family name. (correspondence from
Frances Horn to Linscott, January 16, 1940).

Nicknames
Apart from transcription and abbreviation errors, there are also nicknames for
certain people that appear in collection materials, with variations in frequency.
The name used in this finding aid reflects the most common known usage, with
nicknames or given names in parentheses.
George (Rocky Mountain George) Brown – nicknamed “Rocky Mountain” George Brown,
the form of his name and nickname has been normalized in documentation for the
collection.
Lena Bourne Fish – referred to as Granny Fish, sometimes as Grammie Fish (with the
“ie” and the “y” as interchangeable endings). Since there is no definitive
spelling, it has been excluded from the standardized form of the name in the
collection.
Carrie B. Grover – her name appears thus in the Library of Congress Name Authority
File. However, she signed many letters to Linscott as “Aunt Carrie.”
George Andrew (Stonewall) Jackson – The nickname appears infrequently, but seemed
an informative addition for this noted New Hampshire legislator.
William J. (Jack) Sherrard – referred to as “Jack,” “W.J.,” and “WJS” in various
collection materials. Sherrard also signed his name (in a unique instance) as
“W.J. Beresford Sherrard.” (correspondence to Linscott, August 9, 1951).
Appendix B: Performers recorded by Linscott
