Guide to Women's Oral Histories at the Russell Library: Music

Music

These collections, Music Teachers' Stories and the Athens Music Project, highlight the stories of female musicians and teachers. The Music Teachers' Stories include women from different schools discussing their experiences, and the Athens Music Project documents the diversity and depth of the Athens music community. Some of these oral histories can only be found at the Richard B. Russell Library and have been noted as such.

Athens Music Project

The Athens Music Project Oral History Collection is part of the Athens Music Project, a Wilson Center for Humanities and Arts research cluster co-directed by Jean Kidula and Susan Thomas. Interviews in this collection document the development of Athens as a breeding ground for multiple musical communities- the most prominent of them being the Southern independent rock scene.
