EAP-20Scope and Content
This Zoom presentation, The Songs of Our Souls: A Peek Inside the Wanderground Archives, was developed by Mev Miller (Instigator/Lesbrarian of Wanderground). The attendees were treated to a tour of early Lesbian music from the 1970s to the early 1990s. During this program, special guests shared their experiences with the development of two recordings. Linda Shear, singer/songwriter/pianist, talked about creating her album A Lesbian Portrait. Sally Ann Hay reminisced about singing in the Amazon Chorus on Maxine Feldman’s album, Closet Sale.

Wanderground Archives has LOTS of music – and much more on the way. The collection includes very early (and sometimes rare) LP-albums from the late 1970s, a smattering of cassette tapes, and thousands of CDs. All this makes up an eclectic representation of what’s been known as “Women’s Music” (but is really Lesbian)! The presentation provided an opportunity to explore some of that music, especially those songs that were overtly Lesbian and featuring New England-based musicians.Collection
