Why aren’t some bands available yet?

The Rock & Roll Library is building the most comprehensive music information database in the world.  Our database is growing exponentially every week.  While it is a slow process to add every band into the database, we are striving to add the most content possible.  If there's a specific band or person you would like to see added, please e-mail MusicArchive@RockLibrary.com.

How can I help?

The best way you can help is by becoming a member.  Your contribution will go to fund further development of the archive, education programs and www.RockLibrary.com.

Other ways that you can support our work is by creating a user account at RockLibrary.com, signing up for our monthly email newsletter and sharing our work with your friends.

Increasing the number of registered users at RockLibrary.com and number of names on our email list strengthens our grant applications and sponsorship requests by demonstrating our vast number of supporters.

Does it cost money to search the RRL Music Archive™?

No, the Music Archive™ is completely free, however you do have to register at www.RockLibrary.com and log in with your designated username and password before you can access the database.

Why do I have to register to search the RRL Music Archive™ database?

What is the goal of your education department?

We believe that most people have a very personal relationship with music; the Rock & Roll Library works to use that relationship as a vehicle to educate.  Educators around the globe are currently using music as a valuable teaching tool for a wide range of subjects.  Projects in this department include our Song Lesson Contest™, an archive of free lesson plans for download and other resources.  For more information, visit our Education Page.

The Rock & Roll Library is based in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
