Keep Sounds is part of Unlocking Our Sound Heritage, a British Library project to preserve, catalogue, and give access to rare and unique sound recordings from across the UK.
Keep Sounds is based at The Keep Archives in Brighton. We work to preserve historic sound collections from archives, museums and libraries across the south east of England.
Follow us on Twitter @KeepSounds for updates on our work or take a look at our recent film about our work: The journey of a tape.
