Preservation & Funding Archive Awarded Grammy Grant
April 3, 2003 - The Ethnomusicology Archive has been awarded a $22,000 Grammy Foundation grant to initiate the digitization of its collections of Native American field recordings. Known as the First Nations Audio Preservation Project (FNAPP), the venture will preserve selected sound recordings in a manner that meets the current standards of archival-level preservation. Beginning with a 1937 recording of the Winnebago and ending with a 1981 recording of Diegueño music, the one-of-a-kind FNAPP recordings cover nearly half a century of American Indian musics and contain about 200 hours of recorded sound. In addition to their vast time span, the FNAPP recordings also document an amazing array of music cultures. From Alaskan Eskimo performances to Zuni Rain Dance rites, these 225 unpublished recordings include sounds from 65 distinct American Indian music cultures.
