Dating from 1941, this collection was deposited by Aileen Margaret Robertson. 'Peggy' Robertson acted as custodian of an extensive collection of material documenting the Temiar Dream Music, a form of narrative song that was used to tell folklore. The recordings were captured over the course of an entire night and brought from Malaysia, via Delhi to the UK by Mrs Robertson's husband, Eric D. Robertson in the February of 1942. The collection consists of seven audio tracks and accompanying photographs, articles and numerous correspondence with other researchers in this field.
