GRAMMY MUSEUM'S RESEARCH GRANTS

The Grammy Museum Grant Program has doled out $200k to 14 recipients for research, and archiving and preservation programs. Among the recipients are The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the UCLA Film & Television Archive and Anthony Braxton’s Tri-Centric Foundation.

“The work we help fund includes an impressive array of projects that are at the forefront of exploring music's beneficial interchange with science, and that maintain our musical legacy for future generations,” said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of the Recording Academy and Chair of the Grammy Museum Board.

The Country Music Hall of Fame will preserve, digitize, and ensure public access to 316 interviews with performers, songwriters and music executives. UCLA Film & Television Archive will digitally restore kinescopes of KABC’s Stars of Jazz, which ran 1956-58. The Tri-Centric Foundation is doing an inventory of 300 scores and 1,025 audio and video recordings by Braxton for a "Braxton75" project in 2020.

In addition, the Arhoolie Foundation will digitally preserve and make selectively available for streaming audio more than 300 hours of recordings by artists such as Rev. Gary Davis, Son House and Fred McDowell made by folklorist Dr. Harry Oster between 1957 and 1980.

Grants for scientific research were given to NYU, Tufts University, McGill University in Montreal and Washington University in St. Louis.
