In honour of Tina Marsh (January 18, 1954- June 16, 2009) an  archive has been established in Austin, Texas.  Ms Marsh was a co-founder,  a principle composer, and director of the Creative Opportunity Orchestra, vocalist and composer with Alex Coke's New Visions Ensemble and The Leadbelly Legacy Band, as well as a frequent artistic contributor to The Sharir  Dance and Blue Lapis Light companies.
This new collection contains event programs, press clippings, promotion, administrative files, sheet music, and CD recordings.

Here is the permanent link to the contents of the collection:
