<head>Biographical Note</head>
<p>Record collector and mathematician John Bert Secrist, Jr., was born in Kansas
City, Kansas, on August 14, 1918, to Florence and John B. Secrist. Secrist
received a bachelor of arts degree in mathematics (Phi Beta Kappa) from the
University of Richmond in 1939 and a master of arts in mathematics from the
University of Virginia in 1941. He taught math for several years at the United
States Naval Academy, Emory University, and Columbia University, where he
continued his graduate course work. In 1953 he joined the staff of IBM in New
York, working as a mathematician. His projects included computer technology,
satellite communications, and missile defense.</p>
<p>Secrist began acquiring records as a high school student and continued to have
an interest in collecting vocal recordings throughout his college career. After
moving to New York in 1945 and meeting others who shared his interests, he
became a more avid collector and was a founder and member of the Vocal Record
Collectors' Society, a non-profit organization for those interested in
collecting classical vocal recordings of all eras.</p>
<p>Secrist collected early record catalogs and began compiling more detailed
discographies for his favorite artists. The first, of Rosa Ponselle, was
published in the 1950 issue of <title xlink:type="simple" render="italic">The Record
Collector</title>. While compiling the Ponselle discography, Secrist was
granted an interview with Miss Ponselle, and they became friends for many
years. In 1951 he published a discography of Enrico Caruso in the same journal
and later published it in conjunction with Francis Robinson's <title xlink:type="simple" render="italic">Caruso, His Life in Pictures</title>.</p>
<p>As a prominent record collector, Secrist was known for his exacting standards.
Although he kept much of his collection in his parents' home in Atlanta, a
large portion was held in New York as well, especially items he kept for trade.
Secrist was meticulous in his efforts to find not just copies of particular
recordings, but those as close to perfect as possible. Discographer Aida
Favia-Artsay referred to his methods in the following way: "His was the
selective, purposeful way: only classical vocal recordings, related material,
and mainly quality above quantity!"</p>
<p>Secrist died in New York City at the age of 40 on October 11, 1958. In January
of 1963, his parents transferred the majority of his collection (1,700 opera
recordings) to the Library of Congress.</p>

<head>Scope and Content Note</head>
<p>These papers comprise a small part of the major collection of nearly 1,700
operatic recordings acquired by John Secrist. Strengths of the recorded sound
collection include large runs of Enrico Caruso and Rosa Ponselle recordings;
the collection is further distinguished by being in near-mint condition due to
Secrist's exacting standards. The papers explain and index the Secrist
recordings, while discographic and photographic materials provide information
on the artists whose work he collected.</p>

<p>Photographs of Rosa Ponselle are primarily publicity portraits for
operas in which she performed. Secrist has labeled the verso of the
majority of these photographs with the title of each opera as well as
where and when the photograph was published, if known. Two folders of
group photographs are filed at the end of the series. Most of the
photographs are later copy prints (probably dating from the 1950s), but
some originals are included.</p>
</scopecontent>
<arrangement>
<p>The individual publicity portraits of Rosa Ponselle in costume are
arranged alphabetically by opera name.</p>
