Why create the RoJaRo-Index:
My intention with the RoJaRo-Index is to build the most complete reference source related to the music
press worldwide. The philosophy behind this work is one of integration, not only by covering all shades
of popular musics & jazz, but also by giving equal treatment to various kinds of publications
from glossy well-known magazines to independent zines. In addition the RoJaRo-Index also tries to
cover publications from as many countries & language areas as possible. The index includes references
to articles, interviews, record-/book-/live-reviews, discographies etc.
It's my hope that the RoJaRo-Index (along with the Music Magazine & Record Label Lists) will help make
the magazines and fanzines included better known to all interested in reading about music. I also
hope that both independent & major record labels will find the index a valuable promotion tool.
All material received in connection with this project is integrated into the RoJaRo-Archive, and will
be made available for future research. Donations of music magazines & records are always welcome.
The RoJaRo-Index is a one-person labor-of-love that have completely dominated my life since
1990.
