Type of Material: Collection Recommended Uses: Students could be instructed to compare and contrast genres, authors or themes of the various audio clips. The recordings have only recently been made public with the help of the project sponsors, which include the Los Tigres del Norte Fund at UCLA, the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, and the Fund for Folk Culture. The collection is impressive and well organized with high quality digital clips of very old recordings of songs that as the site states are the foundation for Latino music today. Unfortunately for the user, there is very little musical, historical or cultural background information on the site. The majority of the recordings date between 19 and, as the site states, document many types of popular lyric songs, including the first recordings of corridos (narrative ballads on topics of the day), canciones, boleros, rancheras, and sones, as well as many types of instrumental music, including the first recordings of norteño and conjunto music. On the site, the user can easily browse the materials by author name, genre, subject (in Spanish or English), or do an advanced search of materials by keyword (love, war), genre and/or label. However, due to copyright restrictions the user must be on the UCLA campus to access the complete songs.

Through the site, the user has free access to digital audio clips of the first 50-seconds of each song which can be played on RealPlayer. Overview: The Frontera Collection contains approximately 30,000 audio files of songs of three periods of Mexican and Mexican American vernacular music.
