1:53 Digitising Wild Life Sounds
Rosie Rowe has been working on the digitisation process of more than 300 reels of conservationist John Kendrick's audio tapes at Archives New Zealand. Transferring the audio onto a digital format is a process that has taken many months of playing back the audio reels in 'real time.' Links to the collection can be found by heading to the Archives New Zealand website and searching on Archway.
