Welcome to the Holden Audio Archive. The following hints, suggestions and answers to common questions may prove helpful as you use the archive.

• What is this archive? What is Holden Village?
  The Holden Village Audio Archives are a resource for the Holden community and the world. Since the 1970s, thousands of hours of sessions, lectures and discussions have been recorded at Holden Village, many contributed by artists, academics and others of national renown. For the first time, a portion of these recordings are being made available for free on the internet.
• Is the archive free to use?
  Yes, the archive is free for non-commercial use, but all use is subject to the Archive Terms of Service, including all license conditions.
• Finding recordings in the archive.
  There are three main tools which will help you locate recordings in the archive. The first two are accessible from the menu to your left. Clicking on "Recordings by Presenter" produces a paged list of all contributors in the collection. You can also browse by year by clicking on any year in the "Recordings by Year" menu. The search menu, located above, is a general tool for finding any presenter or recording. The search tool works best over the name of presenter or any portion of the title of the presentation.
• What if I don't find what I'm looking for?
  The archive currently contains only a portion of Holden's audio holdings. In the coming years, Holden will be continuing its efforts to digitize more and more of the collection. If you have a particular recording or subject that you would like to see on this website, please contact us at audioarchive [At] holdenvillage [d0t] org.
• What if I find a broken link or other problem?
  We would appreciate reports of broken links or other problems. Please email us at audioarchive [At] holdenvillage [d0t] org with a description of the problem and the page you found it on.
• I would like to help/contribute to this project.
  Holden Village pays for the ongoing support of the resource. If you would like to contribute (financially or otherwise) please contact us.
• Who made this website and how?
  Many many people contributed to this project, including many volunteers, including Jerry Johansen of Illinois, who donated many many hours to making this archive a reality. Matt Perry was the project lead and developer for the archive, which was constructed using Drupal 6.
