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."
