The Sound of the Netherlands

Video about the project The Sound of the Netherlands. Sound of the Netherlands is a project of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, the Auditieve Dienst and Kennisland, which was supported by the digitization program Images for the Future. More than 2,000 of the historical sounds are so-called ‘own recordings’ from the sound archive of Sound and Vision, including many "lost sounds”, and are made online accessible to a wide audience. In addition, anyone can add sounds via the online platform or the ‘Sound Hunter-app’ for iPhone and Android devices. The collection of historical sounds and the new sounds are online available for consultation and reuse under the Creative Commons license Attribution-ShareAlike. To stimulate contributions to and reuse of the collection several events were organised, like workshops and contests. Sound of the Netherlands is made possible by a financial contribution from the Doen Foundation and the BankGiro Lottery.   Credits: Direction,
