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 Louis Danto offers us a fitting musical testament to the folksongs of Israel. The themes of these songs are as varied as the ethnic heterogeneity of the Israelis - a singularly unique and delightful blend of East and West, Oriental and Occidental. These songs express a profound love for the land and a yearning for its rebirth.

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.
