Mission
Our mission is to document and celebrate blues, Cajun, zydeco, gospel, jazz, Tejano/Norteo, old-time, and other tradition-based styles of music through archival preservation, exhibits, community and educational outreach, live performance, and direct support to artists. By our activities, we seek to broaden public awareness of our diverse music history, support the vitality of living traditions, and reinforce the value and sustainability of community-based cultures.
