The Brass Bands Archive is the world’s largest archive dedicated to preserving global brass band heritage. Having begun life as one family’s collection of brass band material, the Brass Band Archive was formally established in the 1970s. It is now in our care and is housed at Heritage Quay, the University of Huddersfield’s archive service.
Complete the Archive survey
In summer 2022, we surveyed our members and the wider brass band sector to help understand who would use the archive and why. Two years later, we're looking to deepen our understanding on how you might access and engage with the collection. Whether you answered the survey in 2022 or not - we want to hear from you!
Our Chief Operating Officer Sarah Baumann commented: “Your help in completing this short survey is invaluable - it helps us inform our next phase of work as well as supporting our ask to funders to continue preserving and sharing brass band heritage.”
The archive survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete, and you will also have the opportunity to participate in a follow-up focus group, should you wish to.
Please complete the survey by Monday 23 September.
