The Team
Cheryl Tipp, Curator Wildlife & Environmental Sounds, British Library
With a background in zoology and library services, Cheryl has spent the past 15 years looking after the Library’s world-renowned collection of over 250,000 species and habitat recordings. She has worked extensively on projects that encourage the creative reuse of archival content, from student videogames to short films from emerging filmmakers. She is currently Secretary of the International Bioacoustics Council which seeks to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas between scientists, engineers, sound archivists and field recordists working with natural history sound recordings.
Paul Duck, Audio Project Cataloguer, British Library
Paul is an Audio Project Cataloguer on the Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project at the British Library. He started his working life in the wildlife section of the British Library Sound Archive where he worked as Assistant Curator for over 10 years until he moved to pursue a career in IT. When the UOSH project was launched, Paul took the opportunity to return to his first love and has since helped to preserve over 100,000 recordings. His knowledge and years of experience makes him a leading authority on cataloguing recordings of wildlife sounds.
Greg Green, Audio Project Cataloguer, British Library
Greg is an Audio Project Cataloguer on the Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project at the British Library. During the project he has listened to and catalogued tens of thousands of wildlife recordings from all over the world, and learnt to identify hundreds of species by sound alone. He has a degree in Music Production, but decided to take the studio outside and become a wildlife sound recordist, combining his skills as a sound engineer with his love of the natural world.
Fiona Stubbings, Web Sounds Producer, British Library
Fiona is the Web Sounds Producer at the British Library. She manages the BLSounds website for the Unlocking Our Sounds Heritage project. She’s interested in digital engagement within the heritage sector and is currently focusing on the Sound Archive's digital output and audience engagement.
This project has been made possible by the Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project, which was funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund.
