This is a German online archive/museum for sounds considered to be in danger of disappearing. The project was created in 2013 and is continuously expanding. Sounds can be searched chronologically and/or by selecting the image of an object. For example, a picture of a ‘library stamp’ is linked to an audio file with the sound of the stamp in action, a slide show of images depicting the stamp from different angles and a record with a brief description of the object. There are video interviews with collaborators who give an insight into the world of disappearing sounds, and the public is offered the possibility of preserving and exhibiting sounds thought to be about to vanish by uploading them to their archive.

The idea that the expressive traditions of all local and ethnic cultures should be equally valued was at the heart of musicologist Alan Lomax’s career. His Sound, Photograph and Video collections, which are the legacy of his extensive field research carried out between 1946-1990, can now be accessed online via the Cultural Equity website. Gems include The New Orleans Jazz Interviews (1949), the England and Wales folk songs (1951-1958), blues artist Big Bill Broonzy, Bessie Jones, and Caribbean 1962, just when the British West Indies were on the verge of independence. There are also three YouTube channels: The Alan Lomax Archive, which offers video clips from Lomax’s “American Patchwork” fieldwork (1978-1983), thus far including Mississippi Delta and Hill Country, Appalachia, New Orleans, Cajun Louisiana, Johns Island, SC; The Global Jukebox Channel with 600 recorded language examples collected by Lomax for Parlametrics, his study of speaking style, and the Cultural Equity Channel set up to provide Grenadians at home and in the Diaspora with an interactive online resource for Grenadian folkways and an outlet for cultural feedback.
