The BRITISH INSTITUTE OF RECORDED SOUND

During the past two years—and particularly in recent months—the British Institute of Recorded Sound has made considerable progress, both in the expansion of its archive collection, which now contains some 48,000 discs and 300 tapes, and in the rapidly expanding use by students of the listening facilities which it provides. The general public, too, is becoming increasingly aware of the Institute's existence and of its authoritative standing, as is evidenced by the many requests received for information on all aspects of recorded sound.
