This blog is intended to support the ongoing activities of the Archival Sound Recordings project and to provide a forum for discussing issues around the digitisation of archival sound recordings in general. It will be written primarily by Peter Findlay, ASR Project Manager at the British Library, with contributions from other members of the ASR Project Team. We welcome all comments and feedback, although these will be moderated for the time being.
The Archival Sound Recordings service is the result of a two-year development project to increase access to the Sound Archive's extensive collections. When complete, it will make 3,900 hours of digitised audio freely available to the Higher and Further Education communities of the UK.
The British Library Archival Sound Recordings website is funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). The JISC supports further and higher education by providing strategic guidance, advice and opportunities to use Information and Communications Technology.
