The Building of Canadian Music Archives / L'Organisation d'Archives de Musique

Abstract

In recent years, successive waves of nationalism have swept across Canada and in their wake have left cultural centres, libraries, subsidies for the commissioning of artistic works, and a higher political awareness of the needs of culture and its place in the life and history of the country. Thus, more mvoney has been poured from the public coffers into various artistic endeavours, and the "middle-Canadiantt has been deluged with propaganda exhortin2 him to partake of the multiplicity of experiences offered to him during his ample leisure time.
