Dan et al.,
The International Association of Jazz Record Collectors (IAJRC) published a
Monograph 1 in 1990 entitled Assessing, Insuring, and Disposing of Jazz
Record Collections. It can be ordered from Charles H. Waters, 8809 Echo
Valley, Houston, TX 77055, USA or David Griffiths, Featherslade Close,
Langland, Swansea SA3 4HP, Wales. Prices vary with membership. currency, and
location. The IAJRC is a wonderful resource for collectors, with its
excellent Journal four times a year. For more information go to Google --
IAJRC. Cheers.

<br> The other option is to give them to a university
music school--in
<br>my case, either University of Nevada at Reno, or here at UT Austin.
<br> But wouldn't it be nice with there were other
options? What
<br>about giving my collection to an American Dixieland Library (not yet
<br>created), along with other folks' collections, so that a great
<br>incredible history of recorded OKOM would be available for fans,
<br>kids, scholars, musicians. Digitize them for posterity.
<br> Or, if that's not possible, how about donating
them somewhere,
<br>but then creating a world-wide database of dixieland collections at
<br>libraries and such from all over the world. That might be even
<br>better.
<br> I just hate to see libraries and music schools
get these great
<br>recordings and not care about them and not use them and make them
<br>available, nor have any way for fans and scholars to know they're
<br>available.
<br> Just pre-midnight lucubrations and nattering
on....
