MP3 Library Opening at the Auckland Film Archive
In celebration of this archival collaboration, we invite you to join us for drinks and nibbles at 5.30pm Friday 3 July in the Film Archive level 1, 300 K'Rd.
Stefan Neville responsible for much of the sourcing and digitisation of this will be DJing the Library.

The Audio Foundation MP3 Library is a comprehensive digital library of historic and contemporary audio recordings. Many of the recordings in this are obscure and now out of print.
The Library will not be online, due to copyright issues, but available through AF and The Film Archive for anyone passing through NZ to listen to. Catalogue is here
