Collection name: St Fagans Sound Archive; Subjects: Oral History; World, Folk & Traditional Music; Language & Dialect: St Fagans has the most comprehensive archive of oral testimony in Wales. Started in 1958, the archive is still growing. The collection includes recordings of folklore, folk music, dialect speech, traditional customs, and oral history. Most of this has been generated by internal fieldwork, but over the last decade or so, the Museum has increasingly become the repository for external oral history projects, usually funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. A large proportion of the archive is in the Welsh language. It holds the definitive collection of Welsh language dialect speech; items: 115 cylinder, 7500 Open Reel Tape, 2500 Compact Cassette, 100 DAT, 1600 Digital Audio Files, Copper disks made with a copper-disk cutting machine in the 1930s.
