Dawn Eden Goldstein Rock Historian : Dawn Eden Goldstein : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive (original) (raw)

The Rock Historian: Dawn Eden Goldstein built a career researching and writing the liner notes to CDs. Some famous (Harry Nillson), some obscure (Irma Thomas, the Soul Queen of New Orleans.) As the years passed and CDs were tossed aside, it felt as if only a few physical artifacts of her work would endure. Then she discovered the Internet Archive was digitizing CDs & their covers--high resolution scans of hundreds of thousands of CD covers, including her most precious and obscure works. Goldstein was amazed that her work as a rock historian would live on into the digital age. (Read the Twitter thread here.)
