Remembering Popular Music’s Past capitalizes on the growing interest, globally, in the preservation of popular music’s material past and on scholarly explorations of the ways in which popular music, as heritage, is produced, legitimized and conferred cultural and historical significance. The chapters in this collection consider the spaces, practices and representations that constitute popular music heritage to elucidate how popular music’s past is lived in the present. Thus the focus is on the transformation of popular music into heritage, and the role of history and memory in this process. The cultural studies framework adopted in Remembering Popular Music’s Past encompasses unique approaches to popular music historiography, sociology, film analysis, and archival and museal work. Broadly, the collection deals with the precarious nature of popular music heritage, history and memory.

This book traces the history of DeLand, Florida's street names from that December day in 1876, when the first settlers met and named seven streets. It tells also of the subdivisions in which these streets were located and the people who started them in a town that was just beginning. As the town grew, additional streets and subdivisions were added through the years and named for later settlers and the places from which they came, giving us a detailed record of the people who settled DeLand. The book is arranged alphabetically by street name, indexed and Illustrated with photographs of early streets. Documentation in 500 endnotes is provided from research in a variety of resources and from interviews of family members for whom streets were named.
