I’ve recently been notified of a new website to explore: Musical Notables of New Zealand, authored by scholars Clare Gleeson and Libby Nichol. It provides background to people involved in music in New Zealand between 1840 and 1920 – as you can imagine, I very much look forward to exploring this blog further!
Some Interesting Work Out There!
Whilst I’m writing up my notes after attending five meetings in three weeks, I shall share some more interesting links with you, to keep you supplied with reading matter until I’m in a position to post a longer piece! Do take a look at these:-
- Copyright ABC’s – ‘The Scots Musical Museum’. A post on St Andrews’ Special collections blog, the acclaimed Echoes From the Vault.
- A University of Auckland thesis about “New Zealand’s Published Music 1850-1913” by Libby [Elizabeth] Nichol includes a chapter about publishers’ relationship with the British Stationers’ Hall, as well as information about New Zealand legislation.
- UK Copyright Literacy (‘Decoding Copyright and Bringing You Enlightenment’) is a group concerned with educating us about copyright, and they welcome guest blogposts. I was happy to oblige … my contribution will appear soon!
Halfway Round the Globe and Back
I returned from New Zealand yesterday morning. If you’d like to read about the University of Otago’s Centre for Book Research Seminar and the UNESCO Creative Cities Southern Hui, please follow this link. (And here’s a quick YouTube flick-through of my slides – don’t worry, it’s not the whole presentation!)
New Page: To Dunedin, New Zealand
November 2017
I’m thrilled to say that the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland has awarded me funding to enable me to travel to Dunedin, to give a paper at the University of Otago’s Centre for the Book annual Research Symposium and then attend the UNESCO Creative Cities’ Southern Hui. Such an exciting trip merits a new page, which I’ll update along the way. More here…
