The Recorded Sound Archives (RSA) is a unit of FAU Libraries Special Collections department. We are located in the Wimberly Library on FAU's Boca Raton campus.

Originally established in 2002 as a small project dedicated to the preservation of recorded Jewish music, it has matured into a robust digitization operation for all types of sound recordings.

Notes These songs are a reflection of the conditions in the Ghettoes during the Holocaust. The restraint and lack of hysteria, the wry humor, the eternal hope which breathes from these lines, give them a unique poignancy which has earned them their place in modern Jewish folklore.
Recordings restricted by copyright will only play 45 seconds to give you a sense of what that recording originally sounded like. These recordings can be identified by the words (Research Station) in the music player.
