Hip Hop archive acquired by Cornell

The Cornell University Library’s department of rare books and manuscripts has just acquired a "significant archive on the history of hip hop and rap music, documenting its emergence in the Bronx in the 1970s and early 1980s. The collection includes nearly one thousand sound recordings, the photographic archive of Bronx photographer Joe Conzo, Jr., textile art, books and magazines, and a collection of more than five hundred original flyers designed by Buddy Esquire and others."
