“As well as inviting new sounds to be submitted to the website I am absolutely delighted to have been able to partner up with some of the country’s finest existing audio collections. The expansive catalogue of recordings and resources already available is exciting and tantalising to me. Many of these precious recordings are currently being painstakingly digitised, and it is hoped they will all eventually be available online. I have enjoyed delving into them tremendously, and I highly recommend you explore them further too. New material is often welcomed by many of them. With our support and by raising awareness we can work together to ensure that these treasured records are accessible, protected and enjoyed by all for years to come.”
