They sift through endless boxes of old letters, reports,&nbsp; memos, maps, photos, blueprints, and testimonies. But what are the chances the historian will hear the literal voice of a historical actor they study?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. J. Martin Vest<\/strong> pieces together the history of a family that, instead of writing letters, used nineteenth-century wax cylinder recordings to correspond across the country. In this often-obscured part of the history of recording, we learn how in the same way a family might settle into the parlor and listen to a popular music record, they might also record themselves at their most intimate moments, for an audience on a much smaller scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalscholarship.umich.edu\/lsa-history\/showcase\/reverb-effect-season-1-episode-2-transcript\/\" data-type=\"showcase\">View the full episode transcript<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"historian-biographies\">Historian Biographies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>J. Martin Vest<\/strong> is a historian of nineteenth and twentieth century United States. His research and teaching focuses are cultural history, the history of science, technology and medicine, the history of sound and the senses, and the history of capitalism. His current book project, \u201cVox Machinae: Phonographs and the Birth of Sonic Modernity,\u201d explores the evolution of early sound recording and playback technologies, from the phonograph exhibitions of 1877-1878, through the rise of the home phonograph market after 1900, paying particular attention to the entanglements of phonographic technology with popular understandings of sound, hearing, and social difference. His more recent work looks at the shifting medical, scientific, and commercial understanding of vision and hearing in the late nineteenth century.ment and its long-lasting impact on women\u2019s sense of safety and autonomy in public space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"production-credits\">Production Credits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Episode Producer:<\/strong> J.
