The Recorded Sound Archives (RSA) is located in the Wimberly Library on Florida Atlantic University\u2019s Boca Raton campus.  Originally established in 2002 as a small project dedicated to the preservation of Jewish music, the RSA has matured into a robust digitization operation for all types of sound recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009 the RSA expanded to include Jazz recordings (collection donated by Dr. Henry Ivey) and early American vintage recordings (collection donated by estate of Jack Saul).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RSA holds over 100,000 recordings of various types, all of which have been donated to the Wimberly Library by individuals and organizations committed to the preservation  of sound recordings as cultural and historic  artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
