PennSound is an ongoing project, committed to producing new audio recordings and preserving existing audio archives. For an overview of PennSound -- including a discussion of the project's pedagogical implications -- we invite you to listen to PennSound podcast #6.

We intend to provide as much documentation about individual recordings as possible; new bibliographic information will be added over time. Please contact us if you can supplement the information already provided.

View the press release from PennSound's launch.

PennSound is a project of the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing.
