My digital Hawaiian and island music collection has 6,260 songs. That’s 16 days. Haven’t even scratched the surface
@Miraz I think so, didnʻt realize it was that much. Hawaiian musicians criss-crossed N. American in the early 1900s fueling record sales. Many of these records eneded up in university archives. Theyʻre a little challenging to find, but there are gold mines out there.
@hawaiiboy Seems to me you’re creating something really culturally valuable. Not to introduce doom, but it also seems you should think about what may happen to that archive when you eventually pass on (hopefully decades from now). Is there perhaps a cultural organisation who could take it over and preserve it?
