Archive of Recorded Sound
The Archive of Recorded Sound's collection contains over 400,000 items that span sound recording history--from its beginnings to the present day. Nearly all formats ever developed to record sound are represented: wax cylinders; shellac, acetate, aluminum, and vinyl discs; magnetic wire and tape recordings; compact discs. Collections are particularly strong in the areas of jazz and opera.
Continuing Studies
Continuing Studies welcomes all adult members of the community—working, retired, or somewhere in between. Take music courses for pleasure, personal enrichment, or professional development.

Mariachi Cardenal de Stanford
Mariachi Cardenal was founded in Casa Zapata during the 1994-1995 school year by students of Stanford University. From humble beginnings of a few members, it has grown to over 15 members and become and integral part of the Chicano community at Stanford. The members come from different musical backgrounds but have come together with guidance from professional mariachis from the Bay Area and have evolved into a successful ensemble.

Their members come from diverse backgrounds of the undergraduate and graduate community and from all majors. In the past, Music4All organized on-campus events such as a disability awareness concert at the CoHo and 5-minute performances at dorm meetings, and many more off-campus concerts at the San Mateo Disability School , Menlo Park Veterans Hospital, Menlo Park Convalescent Hospital, Palo Alto Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Agnews Mental Hospital, Russell Bede School, and the Children’s Health Council.
