This article is from 2012. It's definitely exciting that the Lomax archive is online — but it could be worth updating the title.
On another note, if you're interested in Lomax you might also be interested in Sublime Frequencies [1], Awesome Tapes from Africa [2] or the Nonesuch Explorer Series. Both are mostly focussed on music outside the US, but they all seem to capture something similar to what Lomax was after.
