Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the process of creating a sound archive put together by six European museums as part of the project Work With Sounds. Methodological premises, the licensing policy, and results of the project are discussed. The author reflects on the employment of recordings in building a historical narrative and the risk of conflating one’s own listening experience with the actual historical soundscape.
