Experts at the library, which holds a collection of six million sound
recordings, claim important and unique sources are at risk of
disappearing, as it launches a campaign to digitise its entire archive.
.
Among its stores are recordings ranging from the call of now-extinct
birds, to 40 years-worth of plays starring the likes of Sir Laurence
Olivier and Peter OToole and the entire national collection of music.
.
Stored in a range of formats, from cassette tape to wax cylinders, staff
at the British Library have now warned time is running out to preserve
them safely.
.
Around 40 million is now required to fully digitise the collection, before
it become inaudible or inaccessible as the methods of playing them
disappear.
.
Will Prentice, British Library curator who has been part of the team
working to preserve the recordings for several years, warned that once the
sounds were gone, that would be irretrievable.
.
We run a real risk of losing part of our collective memory, he said.
Certain sounds or collections may become unplayable and we may lose
important parts of our heritage.
