This piece about the history of commercial music in the US aired today on America Public Media's Marketplace program. Sounds like this guy has an interesting book about about it:

What is this?

Is this an archive? Can you help me decipher what it is they do? This is what they say, but I'm still sure:

Does that mean they digitize materials for other institutions? But it looks like they have their own collection.

blogs

I'm been thinking about the idea of using a blog as a way to explore a music collection and wanted to share a few I've come across and was wondering what are some favorite sites from other people in the class.

Awesome Tapes from Africa - this site has greatly expanded my African music collection and has lots of links to other great blogs including Record Envelope: the little library of record sleeves
