Bringing Music History out of the Vaults

Mar 14, 2019

3:30pm – 4:30pm CT

The National Archives grants program, carried out through the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), recently awarded major grants to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame to fund the accessibility of significant resources of music history for scholars, writers, and music fans. Archives directors from both institutions will discuss their upcoming grant-funded projects and the importance of the historical materials being made available. Music writer Greg Kot, who has donated his extensive collection to the Rock Hall will address the importance of making these kinds of resources publicly available in libraries and archives.
