Jerome Robbins Dance Division and Archive of the Recorded Moving Image, 40 Lincoln Center Plz, New York, NY 10023, US

The Rodgers & Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound is located on the third floor of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts Library, alongside other research collections dedicated to dance, music, and theatre. Staffed by knowledgeable professionals, the Archives offers noncirculating materials that must be studied on-site, with access to recordings facilitated through playback technicians and specially designed listening booths. Users can request preservation reformatting for recordings that require it, and access to materials depends on their cataloging date, with LPs and tapes cataloged through 1979 accessible through a card catalog, and materials cataloged after 1979 available through the online Catalog of The New York Public Library. The Archives also houses unpublished archival recordings, and the Rigler Deutsch Index provides access to 78rpm discs not only at the Archives but also at other major American sound archives.Generated from the website
