• Resumen

  • The International Library for African Music (ILAM) was begun in 1954 by ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey (1903-1977). Since 2007, an active set of projects in preservation and digitisation of both sound and photographic archives have meant that this highly important archive of traditional African music has been stabilized and conserved. New outreach education projects are helping distribute the wealth of the collection back to the African people. ILAM now has a more secure future and makes seminal contributions in the fields of research, publication and education for African music.
