NATIONAL JAZZ ARCHIVE

A precursor to the National Jazz Archive was The British Institute of Jazz Studies (BIJS). The BIJS was established as a charitable organisation in 1965 and was a parallel organisation to the Institute of Jazz Studies in America... Our mission is used to define what we do and help achieve this vision, and our shorter term aims and objectives... We have worked with a diverse range of organisations including: the Open University, Essex University, Help the Aged, The Black Cultural Archives, Fashion Action Direct, The Guildhall School of Music, and The Barbican, the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, the National Youth Jazz Collective, Cheltenham Jazz Festival and Love Supreme.
