Complete redesign - maintaining the general web links for brass bands and associated websites - which had been the major part of IBEW over the last 25 years - had become untenable. Other methods of obtaining access to current websites, social media and other resources for brass bands today are available and, in many cases, more effective and up-to-date. As a result, IBEW has been pared down to concentrate on its unique offering - a resource database for the history of brass bands and associated ensembles/subjects. For more details, see the menus at the top of this page.
IBEW resources - most of the content now lies within IBEW, although there are links to external resources where appropriate, particularly for existing historical resource sites.
Document archive - some 5,400 articles, theses, and books on a variety of brass historical and current subjects, are stored in IBEW and freely available for viewing/download.
Scanned history - over 600 documents and items, including concert and contest programmes.
My personal research - in addition to being available via Academia and Researchgate, my own articles and books are collected here, and freely available for viewing/download.
IBEW Blog - smaller posts about various topics in the history of brass bands.
