UK project aims to save heritage collections
Hundreds of sound recordings from Manx National Heritage's archives are being digitised before they become degraded beyond repair.
It's part of the UK-wide 'Unlocking Our Sound Heritage' project, aimed at saving collections held on dated formats.
MNH has sent 600 recordings to Nothern Ireland for preservation - these include recordings of native Manx speakers, WW2 internees, and the last night of Bushy's Brew Pub in 1998.
Collections manager Jude Dicken explains the benefits of taking part:
Chief Minister: Global trade tariffs unlikely to significantly impact Manx economy
Commissioners considered financial support to keep Cregneash bus going
Tynwald asked to establish select committee on health and care governance
DoI minister to address housing on the Isle of Man in Tynwald
