What are Puget Sounds?
Stretching north to the San Juan Islands and south to the State Capital of Olympia, the Puget Sound region is home to a diverse network of urban and rural communities. With Puget Sounds the UW Libraries Media Center in Odegaard Library aims to document the kaleidoscopic nature of music performed and produced in this region. No style, genre, or music culture is being excluded from the project. Rather, everything from art rock to hip hop, folk revival to free jazz, classical to new age, freak folk to shockabilly, Latin American folk to Balkan folk is or will be represented in the Puget Sounds collection. In addition to collecting titles from the region’s widely popular acts (e.g. Foo Fighters, Modest Mouse, Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, Blue Scholar), the Media Center is also particularly interested in collecting works from lesser known groups and individuals. For example, we are placing special emphasis on collecting musics from independent labels and recent immigrant communities.
