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 The songs on this select program mainly represent two great periods of Yiddish folk music. One is the "Hassidic" movement of the 18th century, a revolt against medieval ritual formalism in its mythical dancing joy and visionary, an almost personal attachment to G-d. The other songs are of the Eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th century.

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.
