*From a press release: The Linden Root Dickinson Foundation awarded $25,000 to the American Jazz Museum for the preservation and maintenance of its one-of-a-kind, priceless collection… One of the Museum’s priorities is digitizing the collection of documents, film, and memorabilia amassed by Ohio attorney John H. Baker. Digitizing this collection of over 700 hours of film will increase public access. Completing this project will enable the American Jazz Museum to share these cultural assets with broad audiences and continue promoting America’s musical heritage.
