Caving Audio Archives

Somewhere I have a cassette recording of Mike Boon that was the basis for the interview published in a 1993 edition of The Canadian Caver.

Sounds good. Would there be a copyright issue? If not, could you send it to the BCRA library? They will forward it onto to Sid.

No copyright issue, but I'd like to check with Mike first before I send it off.

We need some photographs of Bob Leakey to illustrate his interviews. These are by far the most popular recordings on the database,  and it seems a shame not to have pictures of the great man.

If anybody has any photographs they could let us use, please PM me.

I have a rather nice photo of Bob Leakey chatting to Graham Balcombe taken at the CDG 50th if that's any good. Also I have edited part of a 90 minute chat with the late Willie Stanton and it is ready to be put on line but I cannot find an email address to send it. I took the tape put it into a sound processing prog and made an MP3 file which is about 7 meg in size. Who would like it for the audio archive. - length about 9 minutes max. There will be more when I have time to do the work.

Thanks, mdroc - PM sent.

I know is that the W3C standards are not supported by most browsers, and that quite often Microsoft-specific code manages to drive other manufacturers' plugins. It's all a very messy area.

There have been a number of recordings added to the Audio Archives in the last couple of days. Of particular note is a very poignant one donated by Peter Glanvill of Willie Stanton recorded last November where Willie talks about the exploration of the Black Hole Series in Swildon's Hole some 60 years ago, and also a superb account by Jim Newton of an expedition to the Himalayas in 1970 which travelled across land by a double-decker bus.
