The goal of the Chris Gaffney Archive Project is to collect, preserve, and share the history of Southern California singer-songwriter Chris Gaffney (1950-2008). The project invites Chris's friends, collaborators, and fans to share in telling his story by contributing sound recordings, photographs, documents, and personal recollections to the archive. In this way, the archive will be shaped by the people who knew Chris best. 

The Arhoolie Foundation (AF) will permanently preserve the archive and make it available online via the AF Digital Archive. Based in El Cerrito, CA, AF is a nonprofit organization rooted in the life's work of roots music producer Chris Strachwitz and his seminal independent record label Arhoolie Records. AF's work includes archival preservation, documentary fieldwork, and direct support to artists.
