A Window To Seattle’s Music History: Improving Access to the Ladies Musical Club’s Archives

Project tags:

archives & special collections

The Ladies Musical Club (LMC) is Seattle’s 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’s important history is well preserved but can be hard to find. This project aims to improve accessibility to the LMC’s archive by providing a cross-institutional collection guide and enhancing the LMC’s digital archive. These changes offer a clearer window to Seattle’s music history for LMC members, researchers, music fans, and the broader public.
