I went to the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) convention at the Wilshire Grand in downtown Los Angeles last week. ARSC is a nonprofit “dedicated to the preservation and study of sound recordings”.
I really enjoyed Preserving and Protecting the Frank Zappa Archives with Joe Travers and Gail Zappa of the Zappa Family Trust. Joe and Gail talked about Frank’s massive creative output, and their work in saving everything for future generations.
Joe is the official Vault Meister of the archives. See him in this video, talking about his work.
