2009 ARSC INDIVIDUAL,
INSTITUTIONAL, AND
STUDENT MEMBERSHIPS
We would like to remind those of you who are not
members to please consider
joining the Association
for Recorded Sound Collections.

A
RSC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation
and study of
sound recordings
-- in all genres of music and speech, in all formats, and

from all periods. ARSC is unique in bringing together private
individuals
and institutional professionals -- everyone
with a serious interest in
recorded sound.
As a member, you will receive:

The peer-reviewed ARSC Journal: published twice each year,
containing a
wealth of in-depth
articles, papers, reports, and book and record reviews.
The ARSC Newsletter: published three times per year,
delivering timely
announcements,
short articles, and a calendar of coming events
(submitted by
the membership).
The ARSC Membership Directory: compiled every two years,
providing
contact information for members and listing their
collecting interests and
research activities.
Discounted registration for the annual ARSC conference.

The benefits of membership don't stop there. You can learn
from or
participate in one of ARSC's many committees
that serve the needs of both
amateurs and professionals.
For instance, the Technical Committee provides
guidance
on the most effective application of technology to preserve
and
make accessible collections of sound recordings.
The Copyright and Fair Use
Committee monitors information
and developments related to sound
recording-related legal
issues, and has led ARSC in its role as an active
advocate
for legal reform, to assure preservation of and access to our
audio
heritage.
A one-year membership is just $36 for individuals,
$40 for institutions.

First-time members save $3.

If you are a full-time student, don't forget ARSC's very
favorable,
discounted membership of $20 per year.
Enjoy all benefits and privileges at
nearly half off the
regular Individual Membership Rate.
(Sorry, no
additional $3 discount on new student memberships.)
