- Archives of Traditional Music
- The core of this archive, the largest ethnographic sound archive in the USA, extends to over 250,000 hours of recorded time and consists of some 2,000 field collections, focusing on Native American, African and Latin American music and spoken word, including several collections from Somalia. The archive also houses several large collections of early jazz and blues 78s, and the Hoagy Carmichael Collection. Tables of contents of the archive’s publications, The Folklore and Folk Music Archivist (1958–68) and the quarterly Resound (from 1982) are available online.
- Music Preserved
- Music Preserved, established in 1987, aims to record and save music performances for posterity. It maintains a collection of 1,500 archive recordings of live performances recorded at concerts and ‘off-air’ from 1934 to the present day, and publishes its journal, Reflections, annually. (Note that Music Preserved does not hold commercial recordings.)
