With Summer Music Week set to launch this Sunday, we’re delighted to reveal that our colleagues over in Special Collections and Archives will be holding an open afternoon of music-related archive and rare materials as part of the festival on Wednesday 7 June <\/strong>in the Templeman Library.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"To complement Summer Music Week, Special Collections & Archives invites you \u00a0to learn more about how music is represented, recorded and explored through its collections between 2-4pm that day. Visitors will\u00a0be able to view a wide range of material including items from the John Crow Ballad and Song Collection, rare books from the Pre-1700 Collection, artwork held in the British Cartoon Archive, and alternative cabaret performances found in the British Stand-Up Comedy Archive, and much more.<\/p>\n

\"\"You don\u2019t need to book, just drop in on the day; we are hugely grateful to Joanna Baines<\/strong>, Senior Assistant in Special Collections and Archives, for putting this all together, a terrific enhancement as Summer Music Week unfurls next week.<\/p>\n

Explore music in archive materials on Weds 7 June…<\/p>\n
