Arts, Briefly: Syracuse University Gets an Oldies Collection

Syracuse University has acquired a major collection of 78 r.p.m. records from the family of a Manhattan dealer, giving the university what it says is the second-largest collection of 78s in the United States, after the Library of Congress’s. Doubling the holdings of 78s at the university’s Belfer Audio Laboratory and Archive, the collection of more than 200,000 records was donated by the family of Morton J. Savada, who ran the Records Revisited store on West 33rd Street in Manhattan for 29 years and died in February. Particularly strong in jazz and big bands, the Savada collection contains a wide swath of popular music from the first half of the 20th century, with country, blues, gospel, polka, folk, Broadway and Hawaiian music. It also has a strong selection of V-Disc records, which were produced for American military personnel overseas in the 1940s. Now in transit in 1,300 boxes, the collection will be cataloged once it reaches Syracuse, said Suzanne Thorin, the dean of libraries.
