Folklorist Alan Lomax spent about 60 years, beginning in the 1930s, traveling around the USA and the rest of the world, recording folk, blues, jazz, anything traditional he could find.
 
Now, the Association for Cultural Equity, a nonprofit organization founded by Lomax, have just put up 17,000 sound recordings on their website: http://www.culturalequity.org/ 
 
As well as music, there are interviews with the likes of Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Slim and Howlin' Wolf. There's video as well as audio.
 
Oh, and it's all free. Fill yer boots!

Thanks a lot for that. I'm currently writing a paper about Alan Lomax and his father John Avery Lomax, who was also a great folk music anthologist. So anyway that resource is a good find
