HI! The ARC Website is undergoing a code update for the next few days – S0 Main Stories in the center are active, but our side panels are down for now. You can still see and contribute to our fundraiser – Rebuilding the ARC!
============================================================
ARC even saves whole rooms filled with music – this one high on a hill in Monterrey! That’s just one of the reasons to donate to ARC + contribute to our GoFundMe campaign
We’re independent and America’s largest pop music archive with more than 3 million recordings – and that includes 350,000 forty-fives – some of them off-the-wall. See a few of our favorite discs in our film below. Read the latest story about this project in Rolling Stone Magazine!
We’re saving everything – contribute to our GoFundMe campaign
In the past few months we’ve gotten 40,000 CDs from the estate of Richard Zirinsky; 987 CDs from Kurt Carrington; hundreds of LPs from The New School Libraries; 1,127 LPs from Sarah Weingarten; and 5,099 country LPs from the estate of Lloyd Oliver Pierson. We received 6,884 LPs from Sheila Langan and 16,836 CDs from Jeff Daniel. Ira Berger’s Jazz Archive donated so many things, including more than 500 jazz books and magazines and 2,000 oral history tapes. In the pipeline that we need to pick up and make room for are 32,000 LPs from the estate of Saul Nowitz, about 7,000 discs yearning for us in LA , and a great(?) collection of who-knows-what from Indiana University.
That simple goal is to guarantee that the world’s musical heritage is preserved for future generations to study and enjoy.
