Unlocking Our Sound Heritage (UOSH) is a partnership project led by the British Library and involves ten organisations across the UK.

UOSH forms part of a core British Library programme, Save Our Sounds, which pledges to preserve the nation's sound heritage. The Heritage Lottery Fund grant will enable the British Library to achieve key aims of its ambitious Save Our Sounds programme by preserving the nation's most at risk sounds and, delivering online resources and a vibrant programme of activities across the UK, connecting people with their audio heritage. As part of this project, the British Library will preserve 110,000 physical sound items, and between them the 10 hubs will preserve 50,000.
