Did you know we collected Memorabilia? Not JUST those round and square things, but fluffy and ragged things. Like our Beatles’ sweat above. As well as ticket stubs and handbills (below). Oh, and we also have very nice square things, like the Butcher cover. .
So help if you can and contribute to our GoFundMe campaign
Were independent and America’s largest pop music archive with more than 3 million recordings. See a few of our great albums in our film below.
In the past few months we gotten 40,000 CDs from the estate of Richard Zirinsky, 987 CDs from Kurt Carrington, hundreds of LPs from The New School Libraries, 1,127 LPs from Sarah Weingarten, and 5,099 Country LPs from the estate of Lloyd Oliver Pierson. We got 6,884 LPs from Sheila Langan and 16,836 CDs from Jeff Daniel. Ira Berger’s Jazz Archive donated so many things, including more than 500 jazz books and magazines and 2,000 oral history tapes. In the pipeline that we need to pick up and make room for are 32,000 LPs from the estate of Saul Nowitz, about 7,000 discs yearning for us in LA , and a great(?) collection of who-knows what from Indiana University.
That simple goal is to guarantee that the world’s musical heritage is preserved for future generations to study and enjoy.
Contribute here and help us reach this goal!
