The AMRF is dedicated to the promotion, documentation, and preservation of American Music, particularly blues, ragtime, boogie woogie, jazz, and rhythm and blues. A major focus of our work is making the connection between music and the artists who create it. We do this primarily by capturing artists on video, both in performance and in extensive interviews in which they tell their stories.

The American Music Research Center (AMRC) is dedicated to exploring and celebrating the diverse and rich traditions of American music. The AMRC is home to a rare music repository that includes scores, papers, recordings, and material artifacts that document the history of American music and the people who have made it.
