Overview
The oral history collection reflects the work of students in three Oberlin College courses taught by Dr. Ian MacMillen, in partnership with Cleveland-based Roma historian Steve Piskor in 2017 and 2018.
The George Batyi Collection includes audio recordings (LPs, 78s, CDs, and audiocassettes) and notated music that document the Slovakian and Hungarian Romani styles of Batyi's heritage, as well as other styles such as Gypsy Jazz and Russian "Gypsy" Romances.
