Thread Name: Folk Music Collections (after death)
Subject: RE: Folk Music Collections (after death)
Whenever I'm down in the VWML I try to make time to have a rifle through these 2-3 boxes and have found some little gems in there in the past. This works very well with just a couple of boxes but there simply isn't enough room in the library for large collections to be sold. Somwhere else in the building would have to take this on if there was a lot of material donated. The foyer?? or would it make it look cluttered? I like the idea of them being sold off at festivals to help festival funds. Most of the larger festivals have a market and such material could be priced and left on trust on an unmanned stall.
