UW acknowledges the Coast Salish peoples of this land, the land which touches the shared waters of all tribes and bands within the Suquamish, Tulalip and Muckleshoot nations.

UW Ethnomusicology stands in solidarity with our African American students and other students of color at the UW as well as with our African American colleagues and other colleagues of color [more]

The UW Eth­no­mu­si­col­ogy Archives has been col­lecting, preserving, and amplifying unique ethnographic music recordings since 1962. Our holdings of more than 50,000 items include films and field recordings documenting international, national, and regional music traditions. Click here to search our collections on Archives West. The Archives serve anyone with an interest in our collections: students and faculty in the UW Ethnomusicology Program, the broader UW community, Pacific Northwest tribal members, film and music producers, local music fans and scholars, and a range of international scholars. If you have questions about the Archives, contact the curator at vallier@uw.edu.
