The Felix E. Grant Jazz Archives at the University of the District of Columbia invites members of the DC Library Association to visit the archives for a tour and brief presentation on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 from 6:00-7:00pm.

In just over two decades, the Felix Grant Jazz Archives has had substantial impact on the jazz research world. In addition to the vast holdings of sound recordings, books and other published materials, the collections also include unique resources that highlight jazz artists and document jazz activities, sites and events in the Washington, DC area. The Archives' website allows researchers not only to learn about its collections, policies and history, but to access digitized materials remotely.

Join Curator Judith Korey and Jazz Researcher and UDC Electronic Services Librarian Michael Fitzgerald for a discussion on the Archives and its unique role as research and resource center in the nation's capital.
