The aural landscape that helps define a community, a country, or a cultural era can be studied through the Archives' extraordinary holdings, which cover virtually every aspect of recorded sound--from Mozart to Maria Callas to Motown, from symphonic works to presidential speeches, from radio dramas to television specials. A vital research facility for performers, musicians, scholars, critics, and the recording industry, the collection also plays a leadership role in developing technology that allows for the transfer of sound from obsolete to accessible formats. Through special recording projects--often pursued cooperatively with other archives and record companies--the Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives’ collection and preservation efforts ensure that the spoken and musical sounds of the century will resonate for current and future generations.
