The ARTICA collection of audio recordings contains the entirety of phonorecords preserved in the basement of WIAA-FM on the campus of Interlochen Center for the Arts. Recordings were made in several venues under varying conditions, using ribbon, solid state and tube condenser microphones run through various outboard gear before the cutting lathe or tape recorder stage.

Recordings began to be digitzed on a systematic basis in the Fall of 2016 by the Archivist and two temporary Assistants.

The contents of this finding aid include all material entered into the Portfolio asset management software, updated and corrected where necessary. Additional material is constantly added as the recordings are reformatted in the digital domain.
