Back in 2010, Goldmine magazine started a video series exploring various record archives & collections. Unfortunately, they only managed to post two stories – one on the Archive of Contemporary Music in Tribeca in downtown Manhattan, and one on the record library at WFMU in Jersey City, NJ.
If you’ve ever been curious about either place this will give you the scoop you’ve been looking for. Here’s the the video on the Archive – WFMU will be up next.
This is video number two in the series “Record Spins with Michael Cumella”. Each month, Michael seeks out stories, exhibitions or speaks with collectors and shares these record-centric stories through videos. This episode takes us to The Archive of Contemporary Music whose lofty goal is to collect EVERY record distributed in the USA! A lofty goal but with over 2,000,000 in their possession, they are well on their way! For more info and videos, go to www.goldminemag.com.
