The Macaulay Library is the world's largest and oldest scientific archive of biodiversity audio and video recordings. The library collects and preserves recordings of each species' behavior and natural history, to facilitate the ability of others to collect and preserve such recordings, and to actively promote the use of these recordings for diverse purposes spanning scientific research, education, conservation, and the arts. All archived analog recordings in the collection, going back to 1929.
Formerly "Library of Natural Sounds, NLS". In 2000, Linda and Bill Macaulay graciously donated substantial funds to build our current facilities. Today, the archive bears their name.
