Sound Footings: creating a web-based research infrastructure of major music archives

Sound Foods通过与澳大利亚国家图书馆的在线资源发现和交付服务MusicAustralia的链接，同样满足学者和普通音乐爱好者的需求。该项目将使所有澳大利亚人能够通过普遍在线访问共享艾琳·乔伊斯收藏集和澳大利亚和亚洲音乐档案馆的独特资源。健全的基础将促进重大新领域的研究，提高人们对澳大利亚音乐和文化遗产的认识，包括我们与亚洲地区的音乐和文化关系，并通过澳大利亚移民社区的音乐为了解澳大利亚的多元文化增加一个宝贵的层面。

Sound Footings caters equally for scholars and the general music-loving public through its link with MusicAustralia - the National Library's online resource discovery and delivery service. This project will enable all Australians to share the unique resources of the Eileen Joyce Collection and the Archive of Australian and Asian Music through universal online access. Sound Footings will facilitate research in significant new areas, nourish greater awareness of Australia's musical and cultural heritage, including our musical and cultural relation to the Asian region, and add a valuable dimension to the understanding of multicultural Australia through the music of its immigrant communities.
