We invite you to explore vanished eras and forgotten times through the medium of sound. To experience a fresh look at history through the very voices, music and sounds that fell upon the ears of our ancestors. Welcome to "Echoes of History."

Here you will find examples of the kind of historic audio that the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) strives to recover, preserve and make available to the world. Each podcast runs from two to four minutes and includes narration that puts the historic sound clip in context.

Written and hosted by Anthony Wellman—a longtime student of the history of recorded sound and member of ARSC—each episode of "Echoes of History" uses authentic, period recordings that help us witness times past like nothing else can.
