Use the Albert Alphin catalog to search for Boston Conservatory recordings on all formats, including online access.
Tip: to target your search to only Conservatory performances (as opposed to commercial or instructional resources), select "TBC Performances" under "Limit by Collection" in the Advanced Search. You can also apply this option as a filter when viewing search results.
Note: Catalog searches return events available on analog and optical media as well as streaming. Berklee event recordings on CD and DVD do not circulate, but can be viewed by appointment at the Alphin Library.
Note: Many Dance and Musical Theater recordings are not cataloged or accessible to view per Division policy.
Use the Stan Getz Library catalog to search for recordings of Berklee Performance Center and Cafe 939 performances, as well as selected events in other venues.
Cataloged event recordings can be searched using following series and/or subjects:
2017-2018 Berklee Archives GRAMMY Grant Digitization Project
Berklee events online (streaming video)
Note: Catalog searches return events available on analog and optical media as well as streaming. Berklee event recordings on VHS, CD, and DVD do not circulate; recordings on optical media may be viewed by appointment at the Berklee Archives. Additionally, patrons with a Berklee OnePass login may also request for an event to be processed for streaming access.
If you can't find what you're looking for or would like more assistance running a catalog search, visit the Library in person or online to get help from a librarian.
See also Search Tips by Media Type for some starting searches of campus event recordings.
While many campus event recordings are available through our library catalogs, these listings represent only a portion of Berklee Archives' holdings of audiovisual material.
For College events, three primary collections contain the bulk of preserved performances, though event recordings are present in various institutional record groups within the Archives. Descriptions of these collections are available in online collection guides (also called “finding aids”), linked below. Please note that some guides, but not all, include item-level inventories.
We recommend that patrons consult the following resources for help identifying performance dates, venues, and participants.
