POSTPONED: VOICES TO BE HEARD, STORIES TO BE TOLD: Exploring the Dijkstra Black Music Collection at Stanford’s Archive of Recorded Sound

This event has been postponed to the 2023–2024 academic year.

Tamar Barzel, head of Stanford’s Music Library and Archive of Recorded Sound, will present an illustrated webinar on a recently acquired, transformative collection of historic vinyl records of African-American and Afro-diasporic music, especially jazz and reggae. The webinar will focus on the origins of the Dijkstra Collection, explore its gems, and consider the role sound archives play in preserving diverse sonic legacies for future generations.

Tamar Barzel (PhD in Ethnomusicology, University of Michigan, 2004) came to Stanford in 2021 from New York University Libraries. She has taught at NYU, Harvard, and Wellesley College.
