Preserving Popular Music Heritage

_x005F_x000D_ This edited collection seeks to explore the role of DIY or Pro-Am (Professional-Amateur) practitioners of popular music archiving and preservation. It looks critically at ideas around ‘DIY preservationism’, ‘self-authorised’ and ‘unauthorised’ heritage practice and the ‘DIY institution’, while also unpacking the potentialities of bottom-up, community-based interventions into the archiving and preservation of popular music’s material history. With an international scope and an interdisciplinary approach, this is an important reference for scholars of popular music, heritage studies and cultural studies.
