Jack Campin hurricane-endangered music resources (2) hurricane-endangered music resources 07 Sep 17


I have sometimes used the Jewish music archive at Florida Atlantic University - it's probably the biggest audio resource for Yiddish song in the world. I just looked up where it is: Boca Raton, in line for a direct hit from Hurricane Irma. It could well get totally trashed - I hope they have stuff archived off-site. Not much consolation that Mar-a-Lago is only a few miles away and even more vulnerable.

Dunno what music resources there might be in Puerto Rico but they might not have done too well either.

Past history now:

The distinctive cultures of the coastal barrier islands all along the south-east coast of the US could well face obliteration.

What else could be in trouble?
