Herzog was a professor of Anthropology at Indiana University Bloomington from 1948 to 1958 where he formally established the Archives of Traditional Music which he had begun collecting in 1936 while he was at Columbia University. His establishing of a formal sound recording archive, in the model of the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv, shaped the nascent field of ethnomusicology by centering the preservation of sound recordings as a crucial methodological approach in the discipline. This legacy was carried forward by his student Bruno Nettl who continued the work of bring together ethnology and cultural anthropology with historical and systematic musicology.[2] Herzog was a North American pioneer in the field of ethnomusicology and posed such radical research questions as: "do animals have music?" (1941).[3]
