Sousa Archives and Center for American Music, University museum in Urbana-Champaign, United States.
The Sousa Archives and Center for American Music collects historical artifacts, papers, and recordings documenting the evolution of American musical traditions at the University of Illinois.
The center opened in 1994 when the University Bands transferred John Philip Sousa and Herbert L. Clarke personal papers to establish a dedicated research facility.
The archives maintain over fifty record series featuring compositions, arrangements, and documents from influential American musicians, conductors, and music educators through different periods.
Located in the Harding Band Building at 1103 South Sixth Street, the center provides researchers and visitors access to collections through scheduled appointments and guided tours.
The facility houses the Sal-Mar Construction, an electronic music system that pioneered the combination of human and computer-generated sounds in musical composition.
