Sing Out! Records The Sing Out! Records document folk music and its related genres throughout the decades of the 1940s to the present. The photograph and subject files in this collection were originally a part of the Sing Out! Resource Center, created in the 1980s to document the diverse nature and history of folk music in order to better serve the folk community. Because Sing Out's mission is focused not on folk music but the "people's music," the collection documents a wide range of musical genres and styles, including blues, folk, alternative, country, rock, and world music; as well as festivals and organizations related to the creation, performance, and dissemination of the music. The collection also documents music as it serves "the common cause of humanity," and therefore, contains information and imagery related to a variety of social and political issues, including the civil and women’s rights movements, labor rights, economic and social justice, freedom of assembly, and the anti-nuclear and anti-war movements. The collection is particularly rich in its documentation of women and minorities in music. In addition to the archival materials in the collection, a large number of periodicals, books, and LPs were added to the library’s research collections.
