Sonidus Ethnographic Archive

The mission of the Sonidus Archive is to document, promote and preserve cultural and natural diversity, focusing primarily on the customs, culture and immediate environment of rural communities. At the end of 2008 the collection comprised more than 700 hours of video footage, 300 hours of audio recordings, and some 5,000 photographic images. Most of the material in the archive consists of recordings and images collected by us on-site, while a lesser proportion have been included in the collection with the kind permission of other, private collectors. The archive is run by Sonidus Archívum Nonprofit kft., a not-for-profit company that reinvests all its revenues in maintaining, expanding and publishing the collection.
