Research Fees

We collect any format/size phonograph albums that relate or have a tie to Stamford. We will collect records produced here [e.g. Cooke Labs, CBS Labs]; by Stamford Artists/Performing Groups [e.g. Westhill Chamber Singers, Emily Hubbard Roosevelt. With Stamford Artists we do not aim to collect every recording, rather just a sample, by artists who have lived in Stamford [same as authors who live in Stamford - the number is tremendous and they really provide information about Stamford].
