Preserving "The Boss": How The Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center For American Music Came To Be
If you know anything about music icon Bruce Springsteen you know that he’s a Jersey guy, the Jersey Shore to be precise. So, it might not be a surprise to learn that the Bruce Springsteen Archives found a home there at Monmouth University, but you might be surprised at the extent of the archives, how some of Bruce’s biggest fans helped start the collection, and why the project expanded to now constitute the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music. In October, Monmouth University announced plans for a new 30,000-square-foot building to house the archives. A campaign to raise $45 million to get started on construction is underway, and the project is expected to be completed by 2026. Tonight, we revisit our interview with Grammy Award-winning music historian Bob Santelli, the executive director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music, who joined us to discuss the creation of the collection and what they have to offer.
