Archival Sound Recordings
Archival Sound Recordings is the result of a development project to
increase access to the British Library Sound Archive's extensive
collections. The British Library holds one of the world's foremost sound
archives with a collection of over 3.5 million audio recordings. These
come from all over the world and cover the entire range of recorded sound
from music, drama and literature, to oral history, wildlife and
environmental sounds. You can search and browse information about all the
sounds held in the British Library at our online catalogue.
This website delivers a selection of that rich audio heritage in the form
of tens of thousands of digitised recordings and their associated
documentation. If you were to listen to all the recordings on this site
for eight hours each day, every day, it would take you around four years
to hear them all!
