He has also worked as a consultant for the Armenian Library and Museum of America, the Smithsonian Institution, and Folkways Alive! of the Canadian Centre for Ethnomusicology at the University of Alberta.
McCollum is the author of Armenian Music: A Comprehensive Bibliography and Discography (Scarecrow Press, 2004)[3][4][5] and has contributed to many other volumes. He is currently developing a book on music of the Vikings with David Hebert, with whom he co-edited an earlier book, Theory and Method in Historical Ethnomusicology (Lexington Books, 2014), and edits a book series for Rowman and Littlefield press,[6] The Lexington Series in Historical Ethnomusicology: Deep Soundings.[7]
