Our Open Music Collections store various formats of music works and their sound recordings—‘born digital’ items like midi files and digital sound recordings and ‘digital surrogates’ (digitised sheet music or digitised analogue media—, catalogue them to a high standard, and connect them to locations, buildings, people and other things via linked open data (semantic web) techniques. Whenever possible, we aim to make a preview (low resolution) or a high-resolution digital copy available.

The Listen Local Photography Collection is a part of our Open Photography Collection. It is mainly, however, a supporting collection of our Open Music Collection, particularly that of the Listen Local Music programme. This is an ongoing project.

The aim of the collection:

Document contemporary and historic music scenes and ecosystems.
Provide at least one Free Cultural Works for encyclopedias, music resources, blogs, website about artists, musicians, musicologists and key persons in music scenes.
Aim to include some high quality works of photographers to promote portrait and stage photography.
