Hi John 2 useful sources of info: http://www.vermontfolklifecenter.org/archive/res_audioequip.htm and http://www.le.ac.uk/emoha/training/equipment/solid.html regards Will -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Schooley, John Sent: 26 January 2009 16:08 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARSCLIST] Digital oral history recorders - any recommendations? We are looking to apply for a grant in order to purchase some digital recorders for oral history interviews. Up until now we have been using cassettes. I was curious if any of you have any experience with any particular models, or any recommendations? Keep in mind that these devices will probably be used by a variety of interviewers (historians, volunteers, etc.), none of them audio engineers, so ease and simplicity of use is probably the most important factor. ************************************************************************** Experience the British Library online at www.bl.uk The British Library's new interactive Annual Report and Accounts 2007/08 : www.bl.uk/knowledge Help the British Library conserve the world's knowledge.
