Subject
- 368 phonograph records were identified as not being University Archives-related, and were separate out to be offered to other curators. 78 records were identified by the Curator of Latter-day Saint and Western Americana to be added to the Americana collection. 26 phonograph records related to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Utah, and the American West were identified as duplicates or otherwise not desireable to keep, and were discarded. The other 264 records were to be reviewed by the Curator for Music Special Collections at a later date.
- The remaining 264 were reviewed for inclusion in Music Special Collections. Those from Capitol Records and movie soundtracks were selected to be retained, totaling 91 discs, and the remaining 173 discs were discarded.
