About this ebook

Here are the stories of how music archives are preserving independent music and saving a part of our cultural heritage. Music Preservation and Archiving Today moves beyond the how-to and assembles the work currently being done to preserve music and "scenes" via essays, case studies, and overviews of work by academic archives as well as communitydriven preservation projects.

About the author

Norie Guthrie is an archivist and special collections librarian at Fondren Library’s Woodson Research Center at Rice University. While her job requires her to do a little bit of everything, she specializes in collecting and processing music materials from the Houston Folk Music Archive, which she began in 2016. She is also one-half of the duo behind Indie Preserves, which aims to provide music preservation tips to the DIY music community.

Scott Carlson is the metadata coordinator at Fondren Library, Rice University. He received his MLIS from Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois, and an Archives Certificate in Digital Stewardship from Simmons College. With Norie Guthrie, he co-founded Indie Preserves, a website that provides practical preservation advice to independent music labels and bands.
