New York’s ARChive of Contemporary Music, a not-for-profit music library and archive, is seeking funding for a new home.
Currently located north of New York City, in the Hudson Valley, ARC needs to secure $10 million to relocate, as it could be “forced to move any time,” Billboard reports. The funding will be used to find a new place in Hudson or Harlem for ease of access, as well as expanding its public offerings so that students, educators, historians, musicians and journalists can dig through the archives.
The ARC was founded in 1985 by B. George and David Wheeler in Lower Manhattan. It’s the largest physical registry of modern music, with more than three million recordings and millions of other historic memorabilia, including music by the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Aphex Twin and Four Tet.
