    It contains the following collections:

    1. Radio Astronomy: a selection of works presented at the Acoustic Space Lab symposium, which took place in August 2001 in Irbene, in the forests of Western Lapland, at the foot of a 32-meter diameter radio astronomy dish, built and operated during Soviet times.

    2. Radio Art: a selection of electro-acoustic works selected by Ferran Cuadras for radio broadcasting on the FM waveband.

    3. SoundRadioDoc: online documentation on radio art.
