Abstract
Intro from Transom: Jim Metzner knows that sounds tell their own stories. One of our most-respected recordists, Jim has captured audio around the globe and throughout the years. His features and projects have helped us orient ourselves in this world -- through our ears as well as our hearts. Jim's entire collection has recently been accessioned into the Library of Congress; archived and available in perpetuity (more on that down below, including a conversation about it between Jim and Jad Abumrad). All this to say, Jim Metzner has particular insight into both the process and the significance of documenting, preserving, and archiving sounds. Here, he lays out best practices for cataloging and maintaining your own recordings so that the stories they tell live on.
