Organisations which hold collections
of audio recordings of Scottish traditional music are invited to
submit their details for inclusion in the Scottish Traditional Music
Archive Directory.
Scottish Traditional Music Archive
Directory
The Traditional Music Forum (TMF) is developing a Directory of
organisations inside and outside of Scotland with collections of Scottish
traditional music as part of our work towards a Scottish Traditional Music
Archive.
The Directory will act as a signpost to help
people interested in Scottish traditional music identify pertinent
collections, contact collection holders, and make links between
material.
We seek to include the broad range of
traditional music found in and coming from Scotland, including traditional
music made by people who have come to Scotland and by those who have moved
away.
Listings for every collection holder will
include a brief overview of organisational information, contact details,
and relevant collections. The Directory will also be searchable by topics
such as the region collections are from, the periods they were made in, and
the instruments they contain. It will be free and publicly available via a
website and downloadable file.
Call for Organisations
Organisations which hold collections of
Scottish traditional music recordings are invited to submit their details
for inclusion in the Directory. Respondents may complete a downloadable
table (available
here) and return it via email to archive@tracscotland.org, or submit their details via an online form (available here).
While the Directory is not currently able to
accept responses from private individuals, we hope to be able to include
these in the near future. Further updates will be available on the TMF website.
Responses are requested by Friday 13
October to enable the Directory to launch later in the
autumn.
For further information please contact the
Archive Researcher via archive@tracscotland.org.
