PBS

Special nationally syndicated Radio Series and Podcasts to focus on the cultural heritage of specific regions.

Online Archive of American Song:

One of the primary goals of Song of America is to create interest in the incredible free resources that the Library of Congress offers; to help curate what is already available online and to help facilitate making more available in the future via the Internet. The Archive of American Song is a long-term dream project envisioned as an online resource for the development of American song, making scores, recordings, and other materials available to performers, students, and the public alike.

Book & Web content:

Hampsong is in discussion with a leading American music scholar and historian to write a book on American history as told through song to accompany the Song of America project and generate dynamic content for the Hampsong Web site.

Media Outreach Opportunities:

The Hampsong Foundation welcomes proposals to support new media manifestations of American song for the purpose of public sharing.
