The ARChive of Contemporary Music (ARC) is a not-for-profit archive, music library and research center located in New York City since 1985.
ARC contains more than three million sound recordings. That’s 90 + million songs. We preserve copies of each version of every recording, in all known formats, and have electronically catalogued more than 400,000 sound recordings and digitized 200,000 with out partners the Internet Arcive – more than any other public, university or private library in America. ARC also houses more than three million pieces of attendant support material including photographs, videos, DVDs, books, magazines, press kits, sheet music, ephemera and memorabilia.
We are not open to the general public. The permanent, non-circulating collection is currently available through telephone searches, to research members comprised of the press and entertainment industry, and to individuals for special projects. A goal of the ARC is to one day allow students, educators, historians, musicians, authors, journalists, and the general public access to the rich musical heritage of the past.
