ABSTRACT:After World War II, wildlife recordists and bioacousticians took advantage of advances in electronics and acoustics to collect, store, and analyze recordings of animal vocalizations, leading to the establishment and expansion of numerous wildlife sound archives worldwide. This article traces the technological, organizational, and social arrangements that transformed a private collection of recordings by wildlife recordist Ludwig Koch in the 1930s into one of the largest sound archives of its kind. It argues that this sound archive was consolidated through the collective efforts of a recording community—an unlikely alliance of academic biologists, commercial and amateur hobby recordists, and the public service broadcaster British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), each with a stake in the development, use, and popularization of wildlife recordings. Zooming in on the integration of British naturalists with the BBC, the article shows how, despite scientists' oft-noted suspicion of the media, these parties developed a mutually beneficial association.

科学、广播和保护：野生动物录音、BBC 和大英野生动物声音图书馆的整合

摘要：二战后，野生动物录音师和生物声学家利用电子学和声学的进步来收集、存储和分析动物发声的录音，从而在全球范围内建立和扩展了众多野生动物声音档案。本文追溯了技术、组织和社会安排，这些安排将野生动物录音师路德维希·科赫 (Ludwig Koch) 在 1930 年代的私人录音收藏转变为同类中最大的声音档案之一。它认为，这个声音档案是通过录音界的集体努力巩固的——学术生物学家、商业和业余爱好录音师以及公共服务广播公司英国广播公司（BBC）的不太可能的联盟，每个人都参与了发展，用，和普及野生动物录音。这篇文章放大了英国博物学家与 BBC 的融合，展示了尽管科学家们经常对媒体表示怀疑，但这些团体如何发展互利的联系。
