It is also a format which is increasingly available online and can provide a valuable source of information to supplement text-based material for the researcher. In his article, Andrew Youngkin gives a flavour of the audio material available.

Recorded sound can evoke strong emotions and enhance the experience and understanding of the researcher and end user, which makes it a powerful tool for museums. It is also a format which is increasingly available online and can provide a valuable source of information to supplement text-based material for the researcher. In his article, Andrew Youngkin gives a flavour of the audio material available.
What's Inside:
Sound recordings can add a new level of authenticity and experience that can fill information gaps and supplement text-based material, highlighting understanding and emphasising insight for both the researcher and end user. With the increasing level of accessibility, combined with the portability of the format itself, audio recordings can be tapped as very powerful information sources. Many of the online audio collections are those of libraries, museums, academic institutions and radio broadcasting organisations, but with open government initiatives, many government websites are also making audio material available.
