"MacEdward Leach of the University of Pennsylvania spent the summers of 1950 and 1951 in Newfoundland. Today his 41 hours of tape recordings from those summers are the oldest extant sound recordings of folksongs performed by Newfoundland outport singers, and they reflect the enduring interest of American folklore scholars in Newfoundland. But from Leach's collection only a few texts found their way into print while a small number appeared on a 1966 Folkways album. Leach's activity had little public impact in Newfoundland or the rest of Canada." ~ Carole Henderson [Carpenter] and Neil V Rosenberg, The MacEdward Leach Collection of Canadian Folklore, Canadian Folk Music Society Newsletter 5 (1970): 1-10. This collection is on deposit at MUNFLA under accession number 78 - 54. The album containing Leach's recordings is Folkways FE 4075, Songs from the Outports of Newfoundland (New York, 1966). [Footnote 25 from Canadianization of Newfoundland Folksong; Or the Newfoundlandization of Canadian Folksong, published in The Journal of Canadian Studies, Spring 1994 by Neil V Rosenberg.]
