Thread Name: archiving our musical inheritance
Subject: archiving our musical inheritance
in another thread we are discussing the dispersal and auction of a musician's archive, instruments, etc.
the question came up (Joe) what to do with books, etc?
I recommend sing out resource center, smithsonian folkways
or the "mudcat foundation" create a repository to keep these
legacies safe and available for future generations.
we need a west coast archive ... san francisco folk music club??!!
in seattle the nordic museum has a large room upstairs filled with
the colections and work of scandinavian music and dance by Gordon Tracy.
perhaps there is a room somewhere waiting for folk archives?
