About this site

Welcome to HistoryOfAudio.com. This site is managed by Scott Burgess, and takes its inspiration from Arts & Letters Daily. Our objective is to gather together some of the many excellent resources on the internet pertaining to the history of sound recording and reproduction.

Scott would like to give a special acknowledgement to Lou Manno of the Audio History Library and Museum (www.audiohistory.com). A conversation between Scott and Lou on a bus at an Audio Engineering Society conference started Scott on his path to the founding of the Entertainment Industry Collection at the University of Colorado Denver, which led in turn to his return to graduate school.
