Join audio engineer and preservationist Kurt Riemann for a discussion about Alaska’s rich music history and the need to conserve and make available irreplaceable historical and cultural audio resources. Learn about the mechanics of preservation, sample audio from incredible performances, and hear a few wild stories lifted from the recordings and the accompanying program material.

Colleen Mondor, author of The Map of My Dead Pilots: The Dangerous Game of Flying in Alaska, will dive into the records of several of these missing aircraft, both infamous and obscure, and discuss how myths can develop when investigations must remain incomplete and final answers are elusive.
