This site represents years of efforts on the part of many people. Hopefully, it will keep on growing and gathering in one place the kind of information that you are interested in, i.e. early music resources, regarless of their format.

Registering allows you to easily update and add to the information on the site, whether scores, personal information, or pictures and audio files. It gives you direct power and responsibility as well as a voice that counts in the shaping of the future of the WEB. Increasingly, personal contributions are the life of the new publishing environment.

Yet, increasingly also, the technical demands of producing a personal WEB site make it difficult or even impossible to add your own touch to the mix without a considerable investment of time and energy. Most of all, it is the smaller, niche markets like ours, who are likely to suffer from that situation, as less resources are available to cover the costs of expensive, highly qualified labor.

This site represents thousands of hours of work, and it is yours to enjoy, enrich or pilfer from, for the mere cost of a half-hour of programming time. Of course, you are free to stay on the side and simply consume what is already offered. But wouldn't you rather feel that a little bit of this is truly yours, and that you have a share in supporting something that is dear to you?

By sharing your own resources, you will not only enrich these pages, but also possibly save your own previous files from the always predictable disk crash on your pc. You will also be rewarded with the many other files, thoughts and contributions of every other contributor. And perhaps, in the end, you will find friends, in flesh and blood, who like you think that music is indeed hand made.

It is my hope that this framework will not only prove adequate for your contributions, but grow with them, and keep on evolving in the directions that you set, to serve you best. At this time, the site is still very much under development and this is an ideal time for you to help gear it in the right direction!

You can support this site and its continued development by registering for a one time fee of $40 US. This registration will help keeping up the good work, but it also will allow you to input your own data and ideas into the site: scores, pictures, news ads, and for sale ads.

The easiest way to register is by clicking on the PayPal link image below. You can also send a check from an American bank to:
