We buy collections of records. Sell your collection and designate it, or a portion of it, to be preserved as part of a vinyl library, archived and made available for public listening sessions and as a corpus for creative work.

We are building a vinyl library physically archived in a 19th-century church that we have purchased and are currently restoring. The church will serve as a venue for live music performance, music recording, and recorded music playback, including the vinyl library. Rather than checking albums out of the vinyl library, the venue will be open to the public at least once a month at no charge and take requests. The public will be able to request songs from the physical catalogue on site, and it will also be available online. We will support the public listening nights with a variety of other events, including record swaps between the community, events celebrating musicians, sales of new records and designated portions of the collection, and boutique-made audio equipment.

Multiple music playback systems feature vintage analog components, restored by Magnetic Tape of Louisville, Kentucky, as well as custom tube-based equipment designed for jazz clubs, churches, and small performing arts venues, to give the public a sense of scale and impact of the original performances as an experience.

We currently have over seven thousand albums, mostly classical, and are particularly interested in jazz, world, and esoteric recordings from smaller labels and out-of-print recordings.

Preserve music and replace algorithm-based determinism with organic discovery in a physical space, together with other people.

We are archiving and cataloging the entire collection, and, where applicable within copyright compliance, are digitizing select recordings to share with other archiving databases such as Internet Archive, the National Library, and our hosting, all at no charge to the public.

We fund internships for music history students and other interested parties to assist, as well as offer grants for the creative use of applicable material in new contexts.

The Church is located in the heart of Historic Downtown New Albany, Indiana, at 416 E Spring St, next door to our offices at Sassafras Studios.

We are actively buying collections now and currently cleaning, cataloguing, and archiving them. We buy collections either to be sold, preserved, or both, such as with duplicates. The church has been purchased and is undergoing historic renovations with a planned opening next spring.
