The archive contains speeches and interviews by world leaders, wars in sound, peace agreements, human rights struggles and other radio broadcasts of the events that shaped history from the invention of the phonograph to the fall of the Berlin wall.
The phenomena of records that document political and historical events was popular from the 50’s until the late 80’s Most of the records had direct connection to propaganda and for the shaping of a national historical naratives.
The collection underlines how a society turns its historical events into commodities and how sound documentation functions in relation to collective memory.
