Largest punk archive to find new home at MTSU's Center for Popular Music
The world’s largest collection of punk records — the iconic Maximum Rocknroll, or MRR, archive — is relocating from the Bay Area in California to Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
“As an enthusiast of punk, DIY and zine culture and its role in social and political activism, learning about the CPM’s impending acquisition of the Maximum Rocknroll archive was something that drew me to the librarian position when I was interviewing for it back in spring 2024,” Dalton said. “I think that the MRR collection will open the Center for Popular Music to a whole new audience of researchers and visitors and gives us an opportunity to shine a light on lesser-known voices and scenes that may have otherwise been lost to time or streaming algorithms.” “As (a) librarian, I look forward to connecting with researchers around the world and helping them with projects related to this iconic collection in collaboration with my amazing colleagues in the archive and audio lab,” Dalton continued.
