James Madison Carpenter came to Britain twice, in 1928 to collect sea shanties as part of the work on his PhD at Harvard College, and again between 1929 and 1935. During this last visit, Carpenter assembled a collection that is probably the largest of British folk performance material to have been collected in the field at that time. In 1972, the Library of Congress purchased Carpenter's whole collection. Alan Jabbour of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress travelled to Booneville, Mississippi, in order to collect the material and, during the course of his visit, he interviewed Carpenter at length. From the interview we gain an insight into Carpenter's methods of collecting, which were advanced for the time
