Safe Sound Archive is a leading provider of archival audio and video services. Our services include:


Each month Safe Sound Archive reformats approximately 1,000 hours of audio content. Reformatting may be 1:1 preservation copies, or it may include conservation (recovering sound from failing or obsolete formats), and/or restoration ("enhancing" the sound, including improving intelligibility, removing noise, etc). We have significant experience in a wide range of historic, obsolete or damaged audio and video formats, and addressing collection-specific issues.


Clients from around the country trust us with the long-term storage of their magnetic media. Projects which are in our studios for reformatting are kept in climate controlled and fire protected storage.


Whether we're working for a major symphony orchestra (clients include The Philadelphia Orchestra, Boston Symphony and Chicago Symphony) or on oral histories (the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the National Park Service or the Library of Congress), whether your project is contained in a shoe-box or a truck, we can help you design and complete your archival audio project. Our expertise is brought to bear every day in our transfer studios. We also provide assessment and consultation services for your collections to help evaluate their needs, assess priorities and consider options (including designing in-house studios or deciding not to reformat!).
