By the time of his death in 1986, he had amassed an archive of over 2,200 LPs and thousands of hours of tapes; so valuable was this collection that it was purchased by the Smithsonian Institute. Folkways Records is an account of how he built this business, working against all odds, to create a landmark in the history of American music. 606 $aSound recording industry$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSound recording executives and producers$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aSound recording industry$xHistory. 615 0$aSound recording executives and producers 676 $a781.62/13/0092 676 $aB 700 $aOlmsted$b Anthony.$01881526 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956440603321 996 $aFolkways records$94496158 997 $aUNINA
