Join the Center

The Center for Black Music Research invites you or your organization to help support the efforts of the CBMR to document, preserve, and advance black music. This membership program is open to all and provides those interested in the CBMR's work with information and services specially tailored for members.

At all CBMR Associate levels, membership fees provide important, unrestricted funds that support CBMR programming, archival collections, and general operations. As a non-profit research unit, the CBMR depends on a diverse range of funding sources to further its work, and the CBMR Associates program rewards your help with a direct link to CBMR activities.

The CBMR is now partnered with the University of Illinois Press to produce Black Music Research Journal and to manage our memberships.
