Mission:
As a leading curator of audio history, the American Musical Heritage Foundation collects and archives phonograph records and related historical documents from all periods and genres for the preservation and dissemination of diverse cultural and musical histories.

Background:
The American Musical Heritage Foundation (AMHF) is dedicated to collecting and archiving phonograph records as well as related historical documents and artifacts in order to preserve and share the rich heritage of American music and its roots. The AMHF recognizes that records are a vital yet endangered part of our cultural history; they have captured important moments and trends in culture like no other medium. As compact discs and other digital formats have replaced analog media as the principal methods of storing and disseminating sound, the AMHF believes that it is critically important to create an international archive of original analog recordings. The AMHF continues to provide this invaluable resource not only for the artists and musicians who regularly utilize and are influenced by it; but also for students, researchers, audiophiles, music therapists, and the general public.
