Audio

Godfrey’s has live shows archived on cassettes, DAT tapes, CD-Roms, and, more recently, wave files on digital media. Unfortunately, the reel-to-reel tapes of the early years have deteriorated and are not available.

RadioGodfrey’s has ties to WDIY, WXLV, WMUH and WXLR, with a weekly show on WDIY 88.1 FM in Bethlehem, featuring a one hour set from Godfrey’s archives, as well as upcoming performers. This is a great way to exercise archival skills and edit archival material for better use.

Archives in the works1. Newsprint archives – we have

lots of newspaper previews, reviews and feature articles that should be scanned and saved. We plan on an office space dedicated to audio, graphic and newsprint archives, dehumidified.

2. Video – we have relatively little video of shows, but have several nice TV ‘magazine’ features, but still need to catalog and save.

Facebook

Godfrey’s continues to use the Facebook network to promote the history of the club (as well as current events and concerts) by posting vintage posters, performer pictures, caricatures., archival building pictures and other historical visuals. Historical postings are early week teases, followed by the more timely informational marketing towards the weekend.
