Audio

Over 1’000 sound documents, digitised from audio cassettes, records and tapes, are available in the archives and library in MP3 and WAV formats. They can be searched in the online catalogues. Due to copyright regulations many recordings can only be listen to on the premises or at the MEMOBASE+-stations all over Switzerland.

Some recordings, however, can be accessed online:

A selection of unpublished audio documents in the archives (e.g. digitised interviews)
Published audio documents in the library (digitised records, tapes etc.)
Current and historical podcasts
