Abstract
The Scottish hub of the Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project, based at the National Library of Scotland in Kelvin Hall, was tasked with digitising at risk audio recordings, cataloguing them and aiming to clear rights for online access and re-use. Over 3 years the project also facilitated engagement activities to raise the profile of sound archives with both public and professional audiences. The project team have preserved access to over 8,000 recordings from 15 different organisations across Scotland, before the project, were inaccessible due to the fragility of the format and the obsolescence of the playback equipment.
