The University of Washington, in conjunction with the UW Libraries Media Center, is working to point students towards websites that provide free and legal access to audio and visual materials, through streaming or downloading.
The Archival Sound Recordings of the British Library service is the result of a development project to increase access to the Sound Archive's extensive collections. When complete, it will make 8,000 hours of digitized audio freely available.
The Archival Sound Recordings service is live and has 25,600 recordings of music, spoken word and environmental sounds available to staff and students in licensed UK universities and colleges.
Where copyright permits, over two thirds of these recordings are available to the public. Anyone with a British Library readers pass can listen to all the recordings in our reading rooms.
Collections on the website include: - Classical music - World and traditional music - Oral histories - Public debates - Radio programmes - Wildlife sounds - Accents and dialects
