Collections
The AMRC houses the region's largest repository of archival music materials with particular collection strengths in the music of Colorado and the American West, American popular song, the swing and silent film eras, and TV and radio. The core collection was assembled by Sister Mary Dominic Ray at Dominican College in California in 1967 and purchased by the University of Colorado in 1989.
AMRC collections are stored in the CU Boulder Libraries Rare & Distinctive Collections (Norlin Library). Guides to materials in these collections are available online on ArchivesSpace, the Libraries’ finding aid database.
