Towns where speakers were born, without recordings

Birth places named in the catalogue and placed by name; a mark after the name says how surely. Each page lists the people born there.

The archive's own deposit structure — 89 collections by locality as the Archives of Traditional Music catalogued them — is on the archival collections page.
