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 United States Information Office In Israel

The United States Information Office in Israel is located in Jerusalem. Israeli Lilly Berman, head librarian, is interviewed along with others who happen to be using the American Reading Room on that particular day.

Jerusalem, a university city, has a large number of students who do research on the premises. The US Information Office has film and record rooms and also presents plays. The most popular books happen to be about agriculture and technology.

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.

If a song listed below has not been digitized yet, it will NOT show up within the player. If you need us to digitize this song/album, you can make a formal request here.
