</h2></a></div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>Where do music historians go to find the sounds that shape the stories
they tell? There are some obvious places, like the Library of Congress,
whose <a href="http://www.loc.gov/jukebox/" target="_blank">National Jukebox</a> offers more than ten thousand songs from the dawn of the modern age, or the <a href="https://archive.org/" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a>,
which overwhelms with its vast array of material and is especially rich
for live recordings. Scholars also use the same sites casual fans
employ — YouTube and Spotify and good old Google can yield riches to
those who know how to focus a search.<br><br>Beyond these well-traveled areas lies a vast and generally unmapped
terrain governed by collectors, hobbyists, fan clubs, and artists
themselves, sharing gold that once could only be found through hours of
prospecting in library reading rooms or at record fairs. It takes time
to find the islands richest in resources. In conjunction with our
overview of <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015/06/03/411666224/digital-underground" target="_blank">the state of archival music online</a>,
we asked some of our favorite writers, all of whom have recently
published books on a wide range of historical subjects, to share their
favorite spots for pleasurable and informative archival listening.<br clear="all"></div><br><a href="http://goo.gl/5jkQJ9">http://goo.gl/5jkQJ9</a><br><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>carlos palombini<br>professor de musicologia ufmg<br>professor colaborador ppgm-unirio<br><a href="http://goo.gl/KMV98I" target="_blank">ufmg.academia.edu/CarlosPalombini</a><br></div><div><a href="http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Carlos_Palombini2" target="_blank">www.researchgate.net/profile/Carlos_Palombini2</a><br><a href="http://scholar.google.com.br/citations?user=YLmXN7AAAAAJ" target="_blank">scholar.google.com.br/citations?user=YLmXN7AAAAAJ</a><br></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
