THE “ARCHIVING” MUSICIAN: When archivists establish relationships with living musicians

Master thesis | History (MA)

This research demonstrates the need of developing relationships of collaboration and trust between archivists and living musicians. Why do this? On one hand, we do this to establish a new approach, which will allow archivists to find answers about musicians’ documentation habits and thoroughly understand why musicians create their personal records, what does personal and music archives mean to them, and how do they create, use, organize and share them. On the other hand, musicians will have the chance to see the whole picture of what a personal music archive is, how to organize, utilize, and protect it from deterioration and data loss. How will we do this? By conducting interviews and creating meaningful questionnaires archivists will build relationships of trust and confidentiality with musicians, which will bring those two communities closer and benefit both.
