In the twentieth century, wildlife sound archives emerged as new sites of specialist scientific data sets, primarily as repositories of recordings for bioacoustics research and as reference libraries for the identification of species by scientific taxonomists and wildlife enthusiasts. »Networked through Sound« investigates the emergence of a network of seven wildlife sound archives initiated in the mid 20th century across Europe and South Africa. The primary objective of the project is to understand how this network of archives, and the sound recordings they are composed of, are produced and consumed across different social and cultural contexts.
