Library sound recordings digitised

Manx National Heritage is looking for good listeners as it studies the Isle of Man's sound heritage.

Since October library and archive recordings - on reel-to-reel, vinyl, cassette tapes and CDs - have been digitised.

Now MNH wants volunteers to help it catalogue and listen to the contents.

If you're interested in becoming a volunteer listener you can contact the team on 648072 or email uosh@mnh.im.

Collections information manager Jude Dicken says the project will create a few surprises:
