The Tallahassee Regional Music Collection (TRMC), a project devoted to the music and musicians of Tallahassee and the surrounding areas, was launched in November 2024 through a partnership between the Warren D. Allen Music Library and the Center for Music of the Americas at Florida State University. The collection provides an opportunity for much-needed documentation of the region’s rich local music scene past and present. The collection features recordings and ephemera from artists such as Grant Peeples, T-Pain, Hot Tamale, Sammy Tedder, and so much more. In the year since its launch, the TRMC team has helped moderate a day-long series of panels on the issues facing local music-making hosted by the Council on Culture and Arts, conducted oral history interviews at the Florida Folk Festival as an exhibitor, and integrated the collection with two graduate musicology courses at FSU.
