The Archive

The Archive Collection, unique to Wales and the UK, comprises thousands of recordings, Derek with recordsphotographs, journals, periodicals and library. The Collection also houses paintings of women jazz musicians by Valerie Ganz and stage gowns donated by Blanche Finlay, Dame Cleo Laine, Tanjy Wilson, and pictured here is one from Beryl Bryden, Cleo Laine's gown; we also hold Beryl Bryden’s Collected Papers dating back to the 1940s. Many students have used the Archive Collection for their B.Mus., MA and PhD research, donating copies of their theses to the Archive.
