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. 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!
