The UW Eth­no­mu­si­col­ogy Archives has been col­lecting, preserving, and curating 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.
