FROM FIELD TO ARCHIVE
The
Institute for Vietnamese Music also holds the largest Collection of Vietnamese
Music which was resulted from Dr. Nguyen’s fieldwork. Six Earthwatch
Expeditions (1993-1994) under the direction of Dr. Phong Nguyen (Director), Dr.
Terry Miller (Vice-Director), Dr. Adelaida Reyes, and Ms. Tuyen Tonnu (Field
Coordinator) covered a wide area of northern, central, and southern regions of
Vietnam.
This astonishing wealth of
field materials is added by a special section which features the music of
Vietnam’s Central Highlands. An astonishing wealth of field materials collected
during Dr. Nguyen’s independent work in seven mountainous provinces in 1996.
Then latter project was supported by the Asian Cultural Council. The IVM is in
process of cataloguing this archive.
