The archives accepts donations of materials from the American Music Therapy Association and its predecessor organizations, the National Association for Music Therapy, and the American Association for Music Therapy, in addition to other items relevant to the profession of music therapy. If you have records or materials that would be of interest to music therapists in the future, please contact AMTA's Archivist, Lindsey Wilhelm, at Lindsey.Wilhelm@colostate.edu for information regarding the donation of materials. Monetary donations provide the resources to continue archival development and digitalization as this collection continues to grow.
