An award to the Borror Laboratory of Bioacoustics at The Ohio State University and the Florida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH) will fund the conversion of animal sound recordings in the latter institution's collection to digital format. These recordings are currently housed on analog magnetic tape, which has a finite lifespan, and degrades in quality with each use. Conversion to digital format will ensure the preservation of this important collection, and make it much easier for FLMNH staff to serve clients in the future. Collections of recorded animal sounds provide an important resource for scientists interested in the behavior and evolution of animals, for members of the public interested in natural history, and for various commercial enterprises. The FLMNH collection of animal sounds is one of the three largest in North America, and is very strong in birds from the New World tropics, a center of avian biodiversity. In digital format, users will be able to search the collection database and audition every recording in mp3 format. The collection database will also be linked to ORNIS, an NSF-funded consortium of ornithological collections. Finally, collections of bird sounds will be reissued in mp3 and CD format for use by birders and by biologists conducting population surveys.

俄亥俄州立大学 Borror 生物声学实验室和佛罗里达自然历史博物馆 (FLMNH) 获得的一项奖项将资助将后者收藏的动物录音转换为数字格式。 这些录音目前保存在模拟磁带上，其使用寿命有限，并且每次使用时质量都会下降。 转换为数字格式将确保这一重要藏品的保存，并使 FLMNH 员工将来为客户提供更轻松的服务。 录制的动物声音集为对动物行为和进化感兴趣的科学家、对自然历史感兴趣的公众以及各种商业企业提供了重要资源。 FLMNH 的动物声音收藏是北美三大动物声音收藏之一，其中以来自新世界热带地区（鸟类生物多样性中心）的鸟类最为丰富。 在数字格式中，用户将能够搜索收藏数据库并试听 mp3 格式的每个录音。 该收藏数据库还将与 ORNIS 链接，ORNIS 是一个由 NSF 资助的鸟类收藏联盟。 最后，鸟类声音集将以 mp3 和 CD 格式重新发行，供观鸟者和进行种群调查的生物学家使用。
