Thread Name: Ethics in archiving?
Subject: RE: Ethics in archiving?
I have been involved with compiling Anglo, English & Duet Concertina Internationals (Duet due late this Year) and they consist of archive and current concertina players Worldwide.Some of the archives have been recorded privately and if the artist is alive then his or her permission to use the recording is requested.If the person is no longer alive then the relations of the artist are asked.If no information can be found they are used.These archives form a very important part of the collection,without these old tape recordings the artist,their music and style of playing would be lost forever.Most relations welcome and are very emotional that their relation is included in a collection featuring most of the Worlds top players past and present.
