Archive of Recorded Sound

The Archive of Recorded Sound is very pleased to announce the appointment of Anna Hunt Graves as Archive Assistant for a 17-month project which focuses on processing materials in four of the collections in the Archive of Recorded Sound. Anna is working with Frank Ferko, the Project Archivist, to process the widely varied materials in the Ambassador Auditorium Collection which include concert programs, publicity materials, photographs, posters, correspondence, and recordings, both audio and video.
