Re: [ARSCLIST] unknown artists and archives

[Roger and Allison Kulp <thorenstd124@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is what I have found,when trying to unload large quantitites of records,including better jazz.As for what I collect,better quality rock/R&B/ska/calypso,and non-vocal classical,I am grateful,that this is stuff,there will always be a market for.I would suggest you make it known,to a friend.or relative,that you want the records to go to good homes,after you're gone.The best way to guarantee this,is to find someone willing to sell your collection,on eBay, which will probably be around after all of us are gone.

  As a comment to Steven:

I take the risk of being labeled a pedantic nitpicker, but I have to say 
that your collection would absolutely be rejected by any self-respecting 
archives since there is nothing archival about it (unless it is made up 
or demos, one-offs of some sort or another), other than its 
representation of the part of Stephen C. Barr's life spent amassing it. 
It _WOULD_ most probably be most gladly accepted by some non-archive 
repository (library or other entity dedicated to its format or genre). 
It is not in any way a putdown when I say that archives are committed to 
preserving unique, UNPUBLISHED (that is un-issued by recording company) 
materials. I work for the same unit at NYPL that Matt does and we 
routinely separate out (published) books, musical scores and recordings 
that come in as part of archival collections and merge them into the 
holdings of the library with a note in the guide to the collection 
acknowledging their existence. Of course, if the item is annotated in 
any significant way, that makes it unique and it is retained and 
described in the guide.
