Popular Music Preservation in Community Archives, Museums, and Halls of Fame: A DIY Approach to Heritage

Popular Music Preservation in Community Archives, Museums, and Halls of Fame: A DIY Approach to Heritage

Sarah Baker

This book examines do-it-yourself approaches to the collection, preservation, and display of popular music heritage being undertaken by volunteers in community archives, museums, and halls of fame globally. DIY institutions of popular music heritage are much more than -unofficial- versions of -official- institutions; rather, they invoke a complex network of affect and sociality, and are sites where interested people--often enthusiasts--are able to assemble around shared goals related to the preservation of and ownership over the material histories of popular music culture. Drawing on interviews and observations with founders, volunteers, and heritage workers in 24 DIY institutions in Australasia, Europe, and North America, the book highlights the potentialities of bottom-up, community-based interventions into the archiving and preservation of popular music's material history. It reveals the kinds of collections being housed in these archives, how they are managed and maintained, and explores their relationship to mainstream heritage institutions. The study also considers the cultural labor of volunteers in the DIY institution, arguing that whilst these are places concerned with heritage management and the preservation of artefacts, they are also extensions of musical communities in the present in which activities around popular music preservation have personal, cultural, community, and heritage benefits. By looking at volunteers' everyday interventions in the archiving and curating of popular music's material past, the book highlights how DIY institutions build upon national heritage strategies at the community level and have the capacity to contribute to the democratization of popular music heritage. This book will have a broad appeal to a range of scholars in the fields of popular music studies, musicology, ethnomusicology, archive studies and archival science, museum studies, cultural heritage studies, cultural studies, cultural sociology, and media studies.
