Acquisition Information

The collection was donated by Dr. Laura Zarrugh on June 6, 2007.

Processing Information

The collection is comprised of 22 audio recordings, 20 of which are on cassettes, and 2 on microcassettes. The original media was not found at the time of processing. The cassettes were transferred to CDs by JMU's Libraries and Education Technologies Media Resources in August 2007; recorded on MAMA-R 100 MB gold cd using Tascam cc-222mkll; mp3s created using iTunesv7. Mp3s and wav file were uploaded to the M:Drive in September and October of 2007.

Select recordings had transcripts at the time of donation, while others were created in 2019 by a vendor, AZUR CART and Captioning services. One interview, 30-3, was transcribed by Special Collections staff in January of 2021. One interview, 30-11, does not have a transcript and is unavaible pending further processing.

Appraisal

After reviewing the material in 2020 for transcription and processing for access, audio recordings of interviews 30-4 and 30-21 were found to be inaudible, and were deaccessioned. Audio recordings of Interviews 30-8, 30-15, and 30-20 were not present at the time of processing.

Bio/Historical Note

In the spring of 2007, the students in Dr. Laura Zarrugh's course, SOC395: Immigrants in American Society at James Madison University, conducted twenty-two interviews with parishioners at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in downtown Harrisonburg, VA. The recordings were made available to Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church for use in conjunction with the church's centennial anniversary celebration. The majority of the interviews were conducted at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Harrisonburg, but several interviews were conducted in the office of William (Chris) Blake at James Madison University, and one interview was conducted in the interviewees' home.
