The Southern Folklife Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill is one of the most valuable resources in the country for documents of the everyday stuff that makes us us. From rock show posters and T-shirts to obscure field recordings and photographs, the collection is a treasure trove of music, interviews, art, and much more.

You can explore the SFCโ€™s archives online, but soon you can hold some of the collection in your own hands: This spring marks the launch of a partnership between the SFC and Yep Roc Records. The label, based in Hillsborough, will issue three records that have been digitally remastered from the SFCโ€™s archival recordings.

The first pending release is a seven-inch single from Dolly Parton, featuring the songs โ€œPuppy Loveโ€ and โ€œGirl Left Alone.โ€ Released in 1959, when the future superstar was only thirteen years old, โ€œPuppy Loveโ€ was Partonโ€™s first official recording. The single will be available on Record Store Day, April 22.

Come September 22, youโ€™ll be able to enjoy Swampland Jewels, a compilation of Cajun music. Yep Roc also promises the release of a 1963 live album from Doc Watson, recorded in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but the release date for that one hasnโ€™t been announced yet. In the meantime, you can spend your time perusing what else the SFC has to offer right here.
