ARSC Awards for Excellence

Since 1991, ARSC has recognized outstanding writing and research about recorded sound. Annually, a blue-ribbon Awards Committee of the membership typically examines more than 100 books, articles, and liner notes published during the previous calendar year. The winners, as well as the categories, are indicative of the wide-ranging interests of ARSC members.

For more information, contact either Roberta Freund Schwartz of Kansas University or Robert Iannapollo of the Eastman School of Music.
