The Folk Center’s Ozark Cultural Resource Center (OCRC), is a one-of-a-kind archive and research facility, housing nearly 60,000 Ozark documents, recordings, and sets of sheet music. The OCRC contains the largest collection of Ozark music in the world, including recordings of each performance on the Folk Center stage over the center’s quarter-century history. Plus, through the OCRC’s oral history program, staff members have collected audio and video recordings of many of the Ozark’s famous and talented artists and musicians. Although those musicians are no longer with us, through these tapes, their music legacies remain alive.
