This archive has a huge range of speeches. Some have audio, some have transcripts (some have both). These speeches often link to an independent website which have the audio file in different formats. The audio that is on the American Rhetoric website usually uses youtube videos for more recent speeches (or those very popular Martin Luther King Jr. speeches), or an AR-XE mp3 stream or download. The source of the audio is provided when American Rhetoric is not the owner of the audio file.

Archive.Org
|
The Internet Archive is a collection (or digital library) of Internet sites and other "cultural artifacts in digital form". They provide free access to over 150 billion webpages that no longer exist, as well as hundreds of thousands of "Moving Images", "Live Music" files, "Audio" recordings and "Texts". They state that they aim to function like a library, focused on researchers, historians, scholars and the general public. There are several sub-collections under every file type (for example, the Audio Books and Poetry sub-category of the Audio files collection is perhaps more relevant to our work). There are then Sub-collections under Audio-Books and Poetry (LibriVox, Gutenberg Audio Books, Maria Lectrix Audio Books, Audio Poetry, Naropa Poetics Audio Archive, Au Ful des lectures, and Globe Radio Repertory). *I will make separate entries for Audio Poetry and Naropa Poetics websites as they function differently.

BAnQ Collection Numerique: Enregistrements Sonores

This is the BAnQ's online digital collection. Most of the recordings are songs, but it serves as an example of a library's archives turned online digital repository. The website is very basic, and you can search through categories and lists by Title, Date, Marque (Location made), Subject, Interpretations, by Singer/Composer. The Subject list is the most interesting part of this site as it is an index of each song's subject matter, so you can choose from Female singer from Quebec to songs about Hitler. This is relevant to our archive because searching by subject matter and index is very useful for researchers. The archive is currently available in French only.

Laurable Poetry Audio Links
|
This is an interesting site, it collects links to audio of poetry readings, and links them with information about the author, as well as the text of the published poem when possible. Unfortunately almost all of the links to the audio recordings are broken. The links to the text are often to poetry.org or poetry foundation, as well as the Courtland Review and other online magazines that publish poetry online. Many links are for the New York Times (but are for subscribers only). This site is only useful for our research in regards to its work towards trying to create a comprehensive list of all poetic audio recordings available on the web, and in its downfalls and failures that links often change and updating hundreds of addresses might be near impossible.

The archive is added to as often as possible, and these new additions are posted on a sidebar. There are also featured items on the main page. There are separate collections like the Conceptual writing electronic anthology, "Contemporary", which is a site devoted to contemporary writers, etc which are curated by individuals. Important to note that it curates and distributes materials, but very rarely does ubuweb upload their own material.

Women’s Audio Archive
|
The recordings were originally produced by Marysia Lewandowska, an artist, in an attempt to record language as "a site of cultural displacement", documenting lectures, reading, private speech, auctions etc from 1983-1990 on tape cassettes. They have been digitized and put online to create a history and documentation of women and sound and speech.
