eFolkMusic is the source for digitally stored folk music. We

• digitize and distribute contemporary and historical recordings
• offer audio and video recordings for online purchase
• pay royalties to artists and encourage further productions
• protect artists’ intellectual property
• develop educational materials to foster understanding of and appreciation for folk music.

Most importantly, sales of recordings will generate royalties paid to the artists and archivists allowing them to continue to practice their art.  And because efolkMusic is a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization, an even greater share of the proceeds will be returned to those who create the music.
