The Solomon Islands National Museum (SINM) last week formally received all digitised versions of some of its tape collection from its Australian partner, the Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures (PARADISEC).
Its understood all recordings from the old tapes have been collected and converted into digital format.
So far, 250 tapes have been digitised, including oral histories, music recordings and other local materials.
With no way of playing these recordings at the SINM, the digital versions can now be accessed and heard again.
SINM Deputy Director Lawrence Kiko officially received copies of the digitised recordings from the PARADISEC’s Nick Thieberger.
The national museum was pleased to see the old recordings can now be accessed in the digital format.
