 PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Jazz Exchange - Race Records
Record companies were eager to increase their markets, and even developed some non-musical recordings, including recorded sermons, gospel music, spirituals and comedy routines.
By the time the recording industry got on its feet again in the mid-30s with the advent of crooners such as Bing Crosby and bandleader Benny Goodman, what had been known as "race" music was firmly ensconced in the center of the popular culture.
Gradually, the majors began recording their own versions of the whatever hits the independents were lucky enough to have, and by the 50s, race recording labels became superfluous.

 Records management returns to the departments: A suggestion for the next century ARMA Records Management Quarterly - ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Records managers have long struggled with the paradox that, while records management is obviously very important to the effectiveness of any organization, it has such a modest status.
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, members of the "scientific management" movement, usually associated with Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915), applied these principles to the modern office, with one result being the creation of rationalized records management as a distinct office specialization.
Second, in the early twentieth century, management science, as previously mentioned, synthesized the management specialization and work simplification techniques emanating from the Industrial Revolution to lay the basis for rational, efficient handling of active paper records.

 20th Century Fox Records
The financial story of 20th Century Fox Films before the 1980s is not one of unending success, as several times between 1913, when William Fox started his company, and the 1980s the corporation was in dire financial straits (including 1935, when the merger with Zanuck took place).
The story of the record side of the house is actually two stories, the first between 1958 and 1971, when they were known as 20th Fox Records then 20th Century Fox Records, and the second from 1972 to 1981, when they were known as 20th Century Records and then again 20th Century Fox Records.
Although 20th Century Fox was hardly a "major" label in the sense that longtime players like Decca, Capitol, Columbia, RCA, or even relative newcomer Atlantic were, they were backed by a large corporation and should have been more successful than they turned out to be, especially in the 1960s.

Both the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 and the National Archives and Records Administration Act of 1984 were passed in expectation of improving the Federal government's information handling practices.
