Memberships files and records, 1950-1996

Component identifier:

Series 7

Content Summary:

This series contains several sets of memberships records on cards in card file boxes and a sequence of file folders. The file folders were maintained by the Council and were arranged alphabetically by surname or name of institution.

Memberships cards are not a single sequence. One set appears to contain information up to the 1970s; while another contains information up to the mid 1980s. A third sequence contains information up to the 1990s. One set of memberships cards is a listing by country of members within that country. During processing by the National Library (2007), several miscellaneous membership related files were placed at the beginning of the alphabetical sequence of file folders.

Comprises 20 boxes.

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.
