Abstrakt: The article provides information on issues concerning national archives and public broadcast archives in Europe and in the U.S. It states that an European (EU)-U.S. working group estimated that world holdings of audio materials in analog formats total approximately 100 million hours, however, these resources will prove stillborn if the concerned people do not identify ways to reveal their contents. In connection, the U.S. Supreme Court has installed a recording system in the courtroom in October 1955 and archived the recordings at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Meanwhile, the Oyez Project, the digitized recordings of the oral arguments from key cases in the country, is also discussed in the article.
