National Recording Registry With a Twist
Press Release from Library of Congress
As of today there are twenty-five additional sound recordings being inducted into the National Recording Registry, the recording are “marked for preservation because of their cultural, artistic and historic importance to the nation’s aural legacy.” A recording can be considered for induction ten years after its release, so in a decade it is possible Nicki Minaj could be added… It should be noted the recordings do not come solely from the music industry.
This is a new addition to the Library of Congress, just eleven years of selection has taken place. It should be noted the first four years there were fifty inductees, although for the last seven years there have only been twenty-five per year.
The following is a complete list of the inductees since 2002:
