[About ACE] Lomax established the Association for Cultural Equity in Hunter College’s MFA building on Manhattan’s West Side in 1983. For nearly thirty years, ACE has, in this space, overseen the Alan Lomax Archive: an immense collection of tape and film reels, photographs, research materials, and equipment amassed over the course of Lomax’s 50 years in “the field.”Hunter College, however, has decided to close our building, and ACE is relocating and downsizing. We simply can’t bring everything with us. We’re auctioning records, photographs, audio and film equipment, and other items from Alan Lomax’s archive, in the hopes that they will be of use and inspiration to similarly minded institutions and individuals.A prolific folklorist, ethnomusicologist, anthropologist, writer, producer, and musician, Alan Lomax dedicated his life to documenting and preserving the world’s expressive traditions. Lomax was devoted to what he called “cultural equity”: the right of all cultures to nurture their traditions and to see them represented equally in media and the public sphere. Please consider supporting ACE by purchasing one of these one-of-a-kind artifacts from the Alan Lomax Archive. All proceeds will go towards ACE programs to freely disseminate and repatriate the music, film, and photographs in the archive to the general public, as well as to the communities that they came from.
