The recordings are arranged alphabetically by title within each grouping. The films are arranged numerically by film number.

Flat-top acoustic guitar brought back to the U.S. by an American GI after WWII. The GI passed it down to a neighbor who then gave it to Ben Juday at Analog Outfitters, who donated it to the Sousa Archives on Debember 15, 2023. It has a Nazi decal on the headstock, which was presumably applied by the Nazi SS after the guitar was shipped to Europe, while the SS-style fret inlays were presumably installed by the manufacturer. "L 8726 8110" is ink stamped on the inside surface of the guitar back at the sound hole of the guitar.
