The Archive at work

Our extensive International Collection now includes several thousand commercial recordings of jazz music, and other memorabilia.

The Sound Room houses equipment used to transfer music and interviews to CD for preservation - 770 CD's at July 2006.

Our Book Library contains in excess of 600 jazz-related books which, while not for loan, are available for research and reading in the Ray Marginson Library.

The Archive Shop has an extensive range of recordings, paintings, prints, autographed recordings, discographies, T-shirts and other material.
