Welcome Back Owls! As the spring semester begins, the Recorded Sound Archives (RSA) is buzzing with excitement! Whether you’re a returning student or new to Florida Atlantic University, we’re thrilled to welcome you to explore the RSA—a treasure trove of historic sound recordings preserved right here in the Wimberly Library.
