A Window To Seattle鈥檚 Music History: Improving Access to the Ladies Musical Club鈥檚 Archives
The Ladies Musical Club (LMC) is Seattle鈥檚 oldest arts organization. Founded in 1891, LMC helped establish Seattle as a musical city by giving skilled women musicians a platform for public performance, thrilling audiences with concerts by world-famous musicians, and supporting other Seattle institutions like Cornish College. LMC鈥檚 important history is well preserved but can be hard to find. This project aims to improve accessibility to the LMC鈥檚 archive by providing a cross-institutional collection guide and enhancing the LMC鈥檚 digital archive. These changes offer a clearer window to Seattle鈥檚 music history for LMC members, researchers, music fans, and the broader public.
