U.P. Center for Ethnomusicology

The name, “U.P. Center for Ethnomusicology“, is an outcome of its former appellation, the “U.P. Ethnomusicology Archives”, established in June 16, 1997 by the U.P. Board of Regents, in recognition of Professor Jose Maceda’s visionary work and authorship of putting together an ethnomusicological collection of about 2500 hours of recorded music in open reel and cassette tapes, field notes, music transcriptions, song texts, photographs, music instruments, music compositions, personal files, about 2000 books and journals, all of which he personally initiated and developed as a unified institutional resource for music research.
