On the Monday 7th March we are having our first open meeting for Sound Scotland stakeholders at the National Library of Scotland, George IV Bridge., Edinburgh.
Join us and help us uncover Scotland’s wonderful sound heritage
We encourage all to attend who wish to participate in working collaboratively with organisations to secure fragile and important sound recordings for future generations, and to open up these collections to public ears. We particularly encourage those who are responsible for sound collections in archives, libraries and museums as well as community and private collections.
