Re: Int'l Archive of J. Music

[Susan Lerner <meydele...>]

Hankus,  I think you mean "Milken" not "Miken".   Mike Milken, of 1980's 
securities fame (or infamy, depending on your point of view) and his 
family,  have given a very significant endowment to establish the Milken 
Family Foundation, which supports many worthwhile causes in education, 
medical research, and the Jewish community here in LA and around the 
country.  One of their projects, initiated by Lowell Milken, Mike's 
brother, is the Milken American Jewish Music Archive.  The mission of the 
Archive is described on the Milken Family Foundation website: 
http://www.mff.org/initiatives.taf?page=music  I don't know very much about 
the archive,  other than that Ed Seroussi is on the Board of Directors.  I 
gather that they are planning or are already engaged in extensive archival 
videotaping of musical material.
