Papers relating to the Executive Board of the International Council for Traditional Music, 1951-2001

Component identifier:

Series 1

Content Summary:

Includes rules and by-laws of the Council; publicity and historical notes on the Council; papers relating to Executive Board meetings, as well as audited financial reports presented to Executive Board meetings.

Some files also relate to the incorporation of the Council and applications by the Council for tax exempt status within the United States where the Secretariat and administrative headquarters of the Council were located from 1980 to 2005.

This series was arranged during processing by the National Library (2007) into 10 subseries reflecting the order in which the material arrived in the Library. Most sub-series within this series are arranged roughly chronologically with related matter inserted into the chronological sequence. Where files did not permit splitting, the interfiled material was placed at either the beginning or the end of the chronological sequence.

Immediate source of acquisition:

In 2005, the Secretariat moved to the School of Music at the Australian National University. The move of the Council's records was co-ordinated by the immediate past Secretary General Professor Anthony Seeger (Department of Ethnomusicology, University of California Los Angeles UCLA) and the incoming Secretary General, Dr Stephen Wild (School of Music Australian National University ANU). The International Council for Traditional Music donated its records to the National Library in 2006.
