Our team of volunteers curate and process our collections. We are an all-volunteer archive, and our inventory comes from donations.
Please come visit us on the second floor of the Selby Library in beautiful downtown Sarasota, 1331 First Street. We have many new/used items for sale, including vinyl, CD’s, DVD’s, stereo equipment and more. We are open from 10-2 Monday through Thursday for your convenience.

So, no need to hold back any longer! If the donation is non-archive material, it will support the archive by being sold in our upcoming fall flea market or in our store.
