The Association for Recorded Sound Collections

Abstract

The Association for Recorded Sound Collections was conceived to fulfill the needs of librarians, archivists, institutions and private individuals collecting and preserving collections of recorded sound materials. Its purpose is to encourage cooperation and communication among collectors and to promote projects relating to the control and dissemination of information in the field of sound recordings of any type or form. It is hoped that the Association would serve, directly or indirectly, to integrate collections, foster exchanges, answer inquiries, and suggest and encourage research in sound recordings.
