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 | In November 1931, shortly in advance of the introduction of their 1932 model year automobiles, Chevrolet mailed over a million 4-inch "Durium" promotional records to potential customers. These were mailed without envelopes and had postage-paid labels with typewritten addresses affixed to the back. The record side was titled "Advance Information -- The Great American Value for 1932" and on the back is printed a drawing of an automobile and "Be Sure to Play This Record Today!" Narration with the song "Happy Days Are Here Again" as an underlying soundtrack. |
