Lewis Henry Morgan 1877 “Moreover, while the fossil remains buried in the earth will keep for the future student, the remains of Indian arts, anguages, and institutions will not. They are perishing daily, and have been perishing for upwards of three centuries. The ethnic life of the Indian tribes is declining under the influence of American civilization, their arts and languages are disappearing,, and their institutions are dissolving. After a few more years,, facts that now may be gathered with ease will become impossible of discover. The circumstances appeal strongly to Americans to enter this great field and gather its abundant harvest.” quoted brady spiral way p. 77

Must see "Local Meetings and Other Notices" for discussion of phonograph.

This was the most popular journal for professional ethnographers publishing text-based research in early 20th c. Between 1890-1935 (yrs of phonograph's most extensive use), 384/485 instances in which full texts are presented as complete, verbatim transcriptions of material collected in the field make no mention of circumstances under which texts taken down. Only 12 articles mention phonograph at all, usually concerned specifically with method and procedure.

By 1908 "Boasians" took over for 30 yrs.  Used phonograph to fulfill Boas's mandate to pursue the "people['s] records of themselves in their own words."
