The catalogue to the British L:ibrary Sound Archive’s collection of over two and a half million recordings stretching back to the late 19th century is now available online.

The seven main subject areas covered by the collection are Classical Music, Drama and Literature, International Music, Jazz, Oral History, Popular Music and Wildlife Sound. The site includes practical information on accessing the recordings, details of BLSA publications, and a valuable page of external links. In May 2009, a Curator for Radio was appointed and since then a new set of web pages relating to radio have been produced.
