Abstract

Part of our cultural heritage is the sound that surrounds us. Sound as a generator of memories will most often be tied to particular places, events and periods, and has significant potential in terms of being able to strengthen our memories and cultural-historical insights. Sound should therefore be seen as part of the intangible cultural heritage. This article points out that museums and archives should form an underlying foundation of knowledge about sound and audio culture, and thereby also a basis for how such a collection can be undertaken in practice. The article focuses on how museums can proceed with the gathering of contemporary soundscapes, and therefore also clarifies the manner in which the selection and gathering of relevant cultural-historical audio landscapes can be carried out, by museums which are used to systematically collecting and documenting cultural heritage.
