About this Collection
This online collection includes reformatted sound recordings, and digital documents and emails from Jerome Rothenberg's Papers.The audiovisual materials, consisting mostly of audiocassettes and open tape sound reels, were reformatted in 2023-2024. These recordings focus on Rothenberg reading and performing his poetry, as well as giving lectures and talks. "That Dada Strain," "Horse Songs," and "Poland 1931," feature prominently in the recordings.
Digital documents and emails were copied from Jerome Rothenberg's computer in January 2001. The files were originally organized in several folders: email exported as text (saved in alphabetical folders from his inbox, and a "sent" batch); letters and correspondence (Word files arranged in chronological subfolders, 1997-2001); and other documents, divided among 15 subfolders. Each file is represented as an object in this online collection, rendered as a PDF for accessibility. To find materials from a shared folder, search on the folder keyword found in the Location of Originals note for each object.
