The trial was the first live radio broadcast from a trial but there was not recording made. William Jennings Bryan did record a number of other speeches some of which are available online at <http://www.historicalvoices.org/earliest_voices/bryan.html> from the Vincent Voice Library (although none appear directly related to Scopes). The American Experience site has music clips for contemporary songs related to the trial <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/monkeytrial/sfeature/sf_music.html#> Katie McCormick Reference Archivist and Coordinator for the Oral History Program Special Collections - J.

I found a million links to the trial on Google, but only one relating to sound recordings, on another list, with a few suggestions for research but no definite sources. Does anyone have any information about the existence of actual contemporary recordings of the event? Mike Csontos
