The British Library suffered a cyber-attack in October 2023, which has had a significant impact on the Library's IT infrastructure: https://www.bl.uk/cyber-incident/.

Currently there is no access to British Library online resources and catalogues for its sound collections, including oral history.  Further updates on Sound & Vision services at the British Library will be posted on our blog: https://blogs.bl.uk/sound-and-vision/.
