The Archive Project
The mission of the STLBS Archive Project is to collect, create and disseminate the stories of St. Louis Blues Music and the people who created it.
St. Louis has one of the most rich and important musical heritages in the world. St. Louis Blues Music is known world-wide for its importance in the story of American Music, however there is no centralized place for people to learn the actual stories. The STLBS has identified the need for a central repository for the decentralized history that is spread throughout the city. The long term goal of the archive project is to build a trust worthy institution that can house digital and physical history, create new content and to find ways to shine a light on the stories of St. Louis Blues Music.
