    Preserving the electroacoustic music legacy: a case study of the SalMar Construction at the University of Illinois

    No full text
    In the summer of 2008 the Sousa Archives and Center for American Music at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign acquired the papers of Salvatore Martirano (1927-1995), avant-garde composer, faculty member, and performer. This case study examines how the new electroacoustic compositional techniques present in Martirano's papers and his ground-breaking electronic music instrument, the Sal-Mar Construction, dramatically challenged the archivists to explore access and preservation practices for this unique cultural record. Context plays a key role in the preservation of electroacoustic compositions and instruments, considering that these tend to become ephemeral works of art once the composer ceases to maintain them in working order.This is the author's accepted manuscript of an article published in Notes, the Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association.

    Not Just Sheet Music: Describing Print and Manuscript Music in Archives and Special Collections

    Full text link
    The professional literature on archives and music librarianship in theUnited States only tangentially addresses the management of music archival records.Archives and special collections libraries often find print and manuscript music amongsttheir holdings, even if they are not music-specific repositories. Because printed musicmaterial is a proxy for the work and not the work itself, adequate description of thesematerials may require more granularity than archivists customarily provide. Existingstandards for archival description require more work before they will describe musicas easily as they describe text. The article offers descriptive examples for typicalmanifestations of musical works.Peer reviewe

    No full text

While a general search on volunteerism in library literature yields a myriad of articles and booklets on volunteer programs and management know-how, the Internet also offers quality resources and practical information that can be of use to any archivist working with volunteers."January (2007)
