This records subgroup primarily includes audio recordings on reel-to-reel tapes of speeches and lectures of Thomas Merton. Most speeches were given in his role as novice master while many recordings from 1965 through 1968 were either conferences given to the Gethsemani community, conferences given to other groups (mostly monks and nuns), or recordings made by Merton in his hermitage for personal use. Published recordings in this section are cataloged. The reel-to-reel recordings have been digitally remastered as compact disk and as digital files.
