UK project aims to save heritage collections
Hundreds of sound recordings from Manx National Heritage's archives are being digitised before they become degraded beyond repair.
It's part of the UK-wide 'Unlocking Our Sound Heritage' project, aimed at saving collections held on dated formats.
MNH has sent 600 recordings to Nothern Ireland for preservation - these include recordings of native Manx speakers, WW2 internees, and the last night of Bushy's Brew Pub in 1998.
Collections manager Jude Dicken explains the benefits of taking part:
Voters go to the polls for Manx General Election
Upgraded CCTV for Ramsey to be funded by criminal cash
Public counters closed due to staff shortages
Church service wants people to think more about impact of disabilities
