Godfrey Daniels has archived 35 years of folk music history through various mediums including posters, photos, audio and video recordings, and their website and Facebook page. Their archives include live recordings, radio broadcasts, videos, photos of performers from over the decades, and newspaper articles. They are working to improve their archives by scanning newsprint, cataloging and saving more video, and dedicating an office space to archiving audio, graphic, and printed materials. Their website and Facebook help promote the venue's history and upcoming events.

9. Audio Godfrey’s has live shows archived on cassettes, DAT tapes, CD-Roms, and, more recently, wave files on digital media. Unfortunately, the reel-to-reel tapes of the early years have deteriorated and are not available.

10. Radio Godfrey’s has ties to WDIY, WXLV, WMUH and WXLR, with a weekly show on WDIY 88.1 FM in Bethlehem, featuring a one hour set from Godfrey’s archives, as well as upcoming performers. This is a great way to exercise archival skills and edit archival material for better use.

11. Archives in the works Newsprint archives – we have lots of newspaper previews, reviews and feature articles that should be scanned and saved. We plan on an office space dedicated to audio, graphic and newsprint archives, dehumidified. Video – we have relatively little video of shows, but have several nice TV ‘magazine’ features, but still need to catalog and save.

12. Web Site www.godfreydaniels.org continues to be our main connection with our patrons Our present site… Our brand new site…

13. Facebook Godfrey’s continues to use the Facebook network to promote the history of the club (as well as current events and concerts) by posting vintage posters, performer pictures, caricatures., archival building pictures and other historical visuals. Historical postings are early week teases, followed by the more timely informational marketing towards the weekend.
