Featured Project: The Detroit Sound Conservancy
You can help conserve Detroit's musical history through physical archiving, digital outreach, and collaborative fundraising. First and foremost an organizing effort, the DSC’s long-term goal is to become the go-to organization for accurate information and effective strategy in the struggle to increase and maintain Detroit’s capacity to conserve its musical heritage. The DSC gathers oral histories, preserves the written records of Detroit music journalists, encourages the digitization and dissemination of music-related audio and video, and organizes around historical landmarks and collections critical to telling the story of Detroit music. Your contributions -- pages, photos, stories, and more -- make this possible.
