The Ghana Music and Dance initiative was started as a cooperative effort from ethnomusicologists, digital librarians, and Ghanaian music specialists to actively document and preserve the sounds, dances, and traditions of Ghanaian music. Liam Marchant, Center for Digital Inquiry and Learning 2021 Undergraduate Fellow, and Professor of ethnomusicology at the University of Idaho, Barry Bilderback, connected with Habib Iddrisu from the University of Oregon to create an engaging, accessable, and easy-to-update platform for video, photography, and audio recordings collected by the Agoo-Bi Nii Center and other various repositories of Ghanaian dance and music.

CollectionBuilder is a project of University of Idaho Library's Digital Initiatives and the Center for Digital Inquiry and Learning (CDIL) as part of the Lib-STATIC toolkit. Powered by the open source static site generator Jekyll and a modern static web stack, it puts collection metadata to work building beautiful sites.
The basic frame work is created using Bootstrap and jQuery. Metadata visualizations are built using open source libraries such as DataTables, Leafletjs, lightGallery, FontAwesome, lazysizes, and Lunr.js. Object metadata is exposed using Schema.org and Open Graph protocol standards.
