It’s been a while since we’ve posted news here,but that’s not for lack of things to talk about —quite the contrary! The Archive staff have all been busy making preparations for this year’s 50th anniversary celebrations. If you’ve seen the calendar of events you may have noticed a Friends of the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive launch event scheduled for this coming Wednesday,October 27th. We’ve decided to postpone that event until sometime in the spring,closer to the Association for Recorded Sound Collections 2011 conference,which we’re hosting here in L.A. in honor of the Archive’s 50th anniversary.
The Friends of the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive is a group for donors and other supporters of the Archive’s missions to collect,preserve,and provide access to audiovisual materials that document the world’s musical cultures,and to serve as a center of research and education on ethnographic media archiving. We will soon be reaching out for members of this group —which will enjoy special privileges like attendance at invitation-only events —but we’re not quite ready for that yet. Until then,you can still…
Join us for cake (and coffee,tea,and other treats),in celebration of World Day for Audiovisual Heritage this coming Wednesday,October 27th from 4:30-5:30 PM in front of the Archive (1630 Schoenberg Music Building). This is the same day originally scheduled for our Friends launch event,but without the guest speakers. Come meet the Archivists,check out our collections,and learn why now is the time to plan for the future of your fieldwork documentation or other collections —even if you haven’t yet started documenting or collecting.
