No stranger to these pages, the Archive of Contemporary Music has put out a call to folks who may have large record collections they don't know what to do with. I received the following message from them, and I'm happy to help spread the word:
All of a sudden we have been inundated with donations. 30,000 plus from DC, and even more from Chicago. And all it does is make us aware of what we are
missing. Yes, more than 2 million recordings here at the library, and
still we feel, somehow, … empty.
We’re asking you, asking everyone, to donate your
recordings. We take anything and
everything related to music (LPs, CDs, sheet music, books, posters, audio
equipment, magazines, memorabilia). ANY and ALL recordings (except classical). We’ll take 78s if they’re early
rock’n’roll, blues or ethnic music.
It’s tax deductible, and often of greater value to the giver
to donate than to try to sell. Now if you can’t afford to donate, we are interested in
seeing LARGE COLLECTIONS to consider purchasing. Anything from 5,000 to 1,000,000 recordings. A smaller collection will be
considered, if in great condition and very focused.
Do give us a call or e-mail us:
212-226-6967
