 The archival material consists
of records of traditional and innovative
home-grown Celtic musicians and collectors of Cape Breton
memorabilia.
These collections reveal unique features of the music within
the context of community and family. As we share information
about the past lives of musicians, we also keep company with
those who carry on the living tradition of music.
By
collecting stories, tracing family connections, and
recording community histories, our traditions as well as
technical aspects of the music will be preserved for future
generations. Musicians and enthusiastic followers will
continue to enjoy the music that crisscrosses Scottish,
Irish, Acadian, and Mi'kmaq heritages in Cape Breton.
We welcome visitors to the
reading room, where you can read, watch a video, or listen
to music. If you have a specific topic to research, please
contact us in advance so we can have material prepared for
your visit.
We are able to store
documents, photographs, letters, recordings, and many items
of informational value, in a climate-controlled space.
Contact us if you have questions about making donations to
the archives and library.

 Archival
materials at the Centre include audio cassettes,
photographs, video and ephemera relating to the sound and
sights of Cape Breton's Celtic music traditions. For
instance, the Inverness County Audio Collection is an
extensive resource of interviews with fiddlers, piano
players, dancers, and other musicians.
The Reference Library
consists of Tune books, local
History books, and Family History books and
commercial recordings which are available for
visitors to listen to and read if theyd like to
become familiar with a musician, a tune, or to study
features of the music.
Online we have a searchable section of Celtic music
artist profiles and a
comprehensive list of Celtic music related
links, all of which will
continue to grow.
