About Detroit Sound Conservancy
In 2013, Detroit Sound Conservancy began a fundraising campaign to create an oral history archive for Detroit music, drawing on recordings from local music journalists. The nonprofit preserves Detroit's story through the experiences of its musical people. Its work includes public education about the breadth of the city's musical history, community engagement, and leadership in preserving musical heritage. The organization developed its focus through collaboration with scholars and residents, connecting historical research with community knowledge. After eight years of work, it began planning a museum and is developing next steps at the Legendary Blue Bird Inn on Detroit's West Side. Its programs frame music as part of the wider story of Detroit and its people.
