Nouvelle étape pour la diffusion de ma veille mensuelle. Je voulais sortir d'une plateforme (utile) mais limitante pour avoir plus la main sur ma production. Avec l'aide de @LeuLeu j'ai pu mettre en place des pages Github avec Quarto.

Lien à suivre : macgraveur.github.io/mapage/

Il y a encore pas mal de travail mais j'en ai profité pour rassembler au-delà de ma veille quelques contenus et productions.

Bonne lecture.

hmm while searching online for some niche #Yiddish score I came across this collection in Philadelphia which I hadn't heard about before. lots of goodies in it, though none digitized.

"Eric Mandell (1902-1988) was a cantor and collector of rare and popular Jewish sheet music, books and catalogs. The Eric Mandell collection of Jewish music material contains musical works from over five hundred composers of Jewish music from the 19th and 20th centuries."

#JeudiManuscrit en compagnie de la #photographe Jacqueline Colde, dont les #ArchivesDeLyon conservent un reportage de 30 magnifiques tirages noir et blanc (cote 2PH 290).

En 1990 et 1998, elle vient à #lyon photographier les lieux d'une partie de son enfance dans les magasins militaires situés à côté du fort Montluc, sur l'actuelle esplanade #NelsonMandela

Au dos de chaque photographie, elle la situe et la commente de sa belle écriture manuscrite.
