Manning Martus, along with her younger sister, Allyn and her mom, Devra, visited the Judaica Sound Archives at the Wimberly Library on FAU’s Boca Raton campus in October 2011.
Sam Greene was the first volunteer at the Judaica Sound Archives.
It saddens my heart to think that Sam will no longer be here at the Judaica Sound Archives. Sam Greene was a dedicated JSA volunteer who began offering his assistance in 2002. He unpacked recordings, examined them and checked databases. Because of his language skills he was often called upon to provide English translations of Yiddish, Hebrew or German songs and text.
The Judaica Sound Archives at Florida Atlantic University Libraries was delighted when our friends Josh Kun and Roger Bennett told us that they were putting together an album of Tikva Records favorites! As you may remember, the JSA provided many of the LP covers for their book, And You Shall Know Us by the Trail of Our Vinyl, which was published in November 2008.
Now, as part of the Idelsohn Society, they have released the album, Songs for the Jewish-American Jet Set: The Tikva Records Story 1950-1973. To celebrate this accomplishment they have opened a 1950′s style record store right in San Francisco’s Mission District (3191 Mission Street). The store is open for business from December 1st through the end of Hanukkah (December 28).
Dr. William Miller (Dean of FAU Libraries) at the Center for Jewish History in NYC
I just spent two days in NYC at the Center for Jewish History . Over 125 scholars and librarians from around the world, including Dr. William Miller (Dean of FAU Libraries) and myself, gathered to share our expertise using digital and internet technologies for the study and preservation of Jewish culture and history.
On Wednesday, November 2, 2011 FAU students and staff vistied the archives, checked-out the demonstration of obsolete audio equipment and browsed through vinyl LPs as part of the first ever Snap-shot Day at FAU Libraries!
