Bellerive is a suburb of the City of Clarence, part of the greater Hobart area, Tasmania, Australia. It stretches from Kangaroo Bay where it borders Rosny Park, around the curved shoreline of Bellerive Esplanade to Kangaroo Bluff, then down to Bellerive Beach and east to Second Bluff, where Bellerive borders Howrah. To the north Bellerive is bordered by the small foothills of Waverly Flora Park. The Association's current premises is in the old Bellerive Post Office. |
| Description | CollectionThe Sound Preservation Association of Tasmania’s collection includes mantel radios, gramophones and telephones, as well as recording, broadcast and projection equipment. Most of the collection is on display and much is in good working order. The Association also maintains a collection of recordings which now exceeds 70,000 items and includes early 78s and vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs and a number of rare Edison cylinders. The Museum has a Gulbransen pianola and an extensive collection of pianola rolls. Sound-related memorabilia and ephemera have been donated to the Museum, for example, programs relating to stage plays, film screenings and concert performances in Hobart and other places around Tasmania. A reference library of sheet music, books, journals and technical manuals is also maintained. The Association has an extensive collection of interviews recorded with Tasmanian musicians, singers, performers and those involved in the radio and television industries. Recordings of concerts and other performances are also held, both at the Museum and other venues around Hobart. ServicesThe Sound Preservation Association has a vast resource of old records, record players and other assorted sound items for both reference and hire (for a small fee). We have a number of items of memorabilia on sale at the Museum such as pre-recorded CDs, as well as packets of steel gramophone needles and valves. We can transfer your family memories onto cassette or CD. We can assist you with repairs to gramophones and old valve wirelesses. |
