description

Manchester Digital Music Archive is an online community archive established in 2003 to celebrate Greater Manchester music and its social history. Its crowd-sourced archive and website is a place for people all over the world to share Manchester music ephemera and memories, be they fans, musicians or involved with the music industry itself. The project believes that through crowd-sourcing artefacts they can democratise heritage and provide a platform for multiple versions of history to be shared. There is no hierarchy of 'merit' within the archive. The general public decides what is important and what is 'heritage'.
