Listening to sound recordings at Boston Spa

Our Sound Archive's collections are accessible in the Boston Spa Reading Room through SoundServer, the Sound Archive's digitised sound service (onsite access only).

SoundServer provides instant access to a growing collection of sound recordings, including our most frequently requested items. The service is self-operated but, as it is only available on one computer terminal in the Reading Room, we recommend that you contact us to make a reservation.

If you wish to view sleeve notes and artwork, or to listen to selected recordings not yet added to SoundServer, please contact us. 

If a recording is on compact disc, it can be added to SoundServer upon request within 5 working days (other formats such as LP or tape may take longer to prepare for SoundServer) after which readers may listen to their chosen recordings via a specially prepared Playlist.

Individual Playlists of existing SoundServer recordings may also be compiled upon request.
