Archiving St. Louis
Blues Recordings

The St. Louis Blues Society is attempting to archive as many recordings by St. Louis blues artists (albums and songs) as possible. We hope to open some kind of library service in the future that will make these recordings accessible to the public.

If you have any rare recordings that you would would permit us to record, or if you would like to donate recordings or money for this cause, please contact us at P.O. Box 78894, St. Louis, MO 63178 or at mcddcd@sbcglobal.net.
