Music Industry Publications

We do volunteer work for the Library of Congress Packard Campus, assisting in processing U.S. and British music publications. The following collections are examples of themes and brands of interest we’ve seen while inventorying and assessing damage to the publications. The majority of the publications span from 1940-1985, and include rock music magazines such as Crawdaddy, Pop Weekly, Circus, Hullabaloo, and Fusion.
