Question
Shakespearean actor Charles Warburton's daughter passed away recently in Utah, USA, where I live. I have an old 78 rpm recording, apparently, of Warburton speaking dialogue. I wonder how to find it a proper home. I suspect it may be a unique recording of his voice and ought not to be lost, if this is so.
HI CAMERON,
I WOULD SUSPECT THAT TWO PLACES WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THAT RECORDING,
ONE WOULD BE: THE BRITISH LIBRARY NATIONAL SOUND ARCHIVE.
http://www.bl.uk/ soundarchive.
AND THE OTHER WOULD BE THE THEATRE MUSEUM, WHICH I BELIEVE IS NOW BASED AT THE VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM
theatremuseum.vam.ac.uk/
THERE MUST BE A NATIONAL ARCHIVE IN THE STATES THAT WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT ALSO.
BEST WISHES FOR WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH IT.
