Hello, Mr. Clarke

Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton has a very large record/tape/CD collection.
We have at least 100,000 78s of all kinds. We call ourselves the Recorded Sound Archives.
Hence: FAU RSA.

Right now we're working on children's records - cleaning, digitizing, editing, scanning, etc.
These will go up on a special website. More details in January.

Here is the website for the RSA http://www.library.fau.edu/depts/spc/spc/soundarchives.htm

Media mail would be fine.
I'm SURE you know how to pack records.

The address is:
Recorded Sound Archives
Florida Atlantic University
Wimberly Library
777 Glades Road
Boca Raton, FL 33431-0992

Thanks in advance for your donation.

Regards,
Ben Roth
FAU RSA

Where are you? I will ship them to you for USA postage. They might go media mail or they might be too heavy for that. What is FUU-RSA?

I've just been given a pile Bowmar children's records, written by Lucille Wood and with Marni Nixon one of the narrator/vocalists. Ten vinyl 12" LPs in good condition; books not included. Is anybody interested in this stuff? Also some Disney stuff with Sterling Holloway.

Good morning, all

While working with children's 78s, I found an Alice in Wonderland.
It's on HMV C.3244
It stars Arthur Askey, Ann Stephens, Nancy Munks and Molly Munks.
The orch. leader is Clifford Greenwood.

There's also a Through the Looking Glass - C. 3245

Do any of those exist in a US pressing?
