Letter from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Curatorial Director, Howard Kramer.
Howard and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame are interested in our Philadelphia musical archives and have requested a copy of our documentary for their Library and Archives.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s Library and Archives will be the world’s most comprehensive repository of written and audiovisual materials relating to the history of rock and roll. The Library and Archives will collect, preserve, and provide access to these resources in order to educate people about rock and roll, its roots, and its impact on society. In early 2012, the Library and Archives will open its doors and begin serving the needs of scholars, educators, students, the media, and the general public.
Ever since the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was conceived back in 1986, a Library and Archives has been envisioned as part of the mission.
