Well, it is not a very "serious" archive, but the Museum of Television and Radio in New York City (on West 53rd Street) is a place you might like to visit if you are interested in old radio/TV broadcasts. There is also a Museum of Recorded Sound, but it is in limbo at present; hopes to open at some future time in a new building in Camden, New Jersy, right next to what was once the Victor Records building.

Hello ARSC people,
I am a Master's of Library & Information Science student at San Jose State University in California.
I am working on an assignment where I must present/introduce a professional association to my class. I have chosen ARSC. I have already sent away for the most recent ARSC journal and newsletter.
I will be visiting New York (The City only, not Rochester unfortunately) March 25th - 31st.
Is there anywhere in NYC I can visit to take a look at any ARSC-related materials? Or NYC museums having a worthwhile Recorded Sound exhibit?
Also, I ask the same question for the Bay Area, California (any locations between San Jose and San Francisco).
Much obliged,
Sarah Wilson
