One Room in Kansas City Holds 317,000 Records


I completed this short documentary profile as an undergrad at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. It is a short profile of the Marr Sound Archives, which has collected and preserved over 317,000 sound recordings and ephemera in just over 20 years. Enjoy! Please visit the actual YouTube page and comment/rate! Thanks, Jordan

I can't imagine having access to that many records, that much recorded music history at your fingertips!
