Early Recording Association members
Early Recordings Association was founded by Dr. Inja Stanović (University of Surrey) and Dr. Eva Moreda Rodríguez (University of Glasgow), in order to provide an international platform for communication between researchers and early recordings enthusiasts. Membership is free and members can use the platform to promote their own research interests, discover the interests of others via a searchable directory, and form connections with others in the field.
