List of sound recordings preserved in the U.S. Library of Congress
Martin Luther King Jr. 's 1963 "
I Have a Dream " speech was one of 50 recordings preserved in 2002, the first year of existence of the United States National Recording Registry.
The National Recording Registry is a list of
sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant, and inform or reflect life in the
United States ."
[ 1] The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,
[ 2] which created the
National Recording Preservation Board , whose members are appointed by the
Librarian of Congress . The recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry form a registry of recordings selected yearly by the National Recording Preservation Board for preservation in the
Library of Congress .
[ 2]
The National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 established a national program to guard America's
sound recording heritage. The Act created the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation.
[ 3] The purpose of the Registry is to maintain and preserve sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.
[ 2] Beginning in 2002, the National Recording Preservation Board has selected recordings nominated each year to be preserved. On January 27, 2003, the first 50 recordings were announced by
James Billington , the
Librarian of Congress .
[ 4]
The first four yearly lists each had 50 selections. Since 2006, 25 recordings have been selected annually. As of 2024
[update] , a total of 650 recordings have been preserved in the Registry. Each calendar year, public nominations are accepted for inclusion in that year's list of selections, which are announced the following spring.
Registry title works, original or copies, are housed at the Library of Congress'
Packard Campus for Audio Video Conservation . Each yearly list typically includes a few recordings that have also been selected for inclusion in the holdings of the
National Archives ' audiovisual collection. Recordings on the National Recording Registry that are of a political nature tend to overlap with the audiovisual collection of the National Archives.
The criteria for selection are:
Recordings selected for the National Recording Registry are "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant", and inform or reflect culture in the United States.
[ 5]
[ 1]
Recordings will not be considered for inclusion in the National Recording Registry if no copy of the recording exists.
[ 5]
No recording is eligible for inclusion in the National Recording Registry until ten years after the recording's creation.
[ 5]
The list shows overlapping items and whether the National Archives has an original or a copy of the recording.
^ The original 25 recordings from July 24, 1933, and July 28, 1934, are preserved at the Roosevelt Library in
Hyde Park , New York.
[ 9]
^ The essay accompanying the U.S. Highball listing seems to concern the later 1958 Gate 5 recording.

^ Library of Congress sources conflict regarding the Pat Bonner recording(s) in the registry. The original press release names "Schooner Bradley",
[ 20] while the full registry list and an expanded essay name "Clifton's Crew".
[ 21]
[ 22] A list of available audio clips for registry titles includes both "Schooner Bradley" and "Clifton's Crew".
[ 23]
^ Dates listed for the Pat Bonner selections include 1952–60,
[ 24] June 1960,
[ 21] and June 11, 1960,
[ 25] although the essay for "Clifton's Crew" says "the only known recording" was made August 24, 1938.
[ 26]
^ The class of 2022 saw a shift with the current calendar year being cited as the "induction year", as opposed to the previous year. Consequently, 2021 was skipped over.
[ 95]
As of 2023
[update] , the oldest recording on the list is
Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville 's
Phonautograms which date back to the 1850s.
[ 113] The most recent is the
Chamber Music Northwest 's rendition of
Ellen Taaffe Zwilich 's Concerto for Clarinet and Chamber Ensemble from 2012.
[ 114]
Selections vary widely in duration. The early Edison recordings, the instrumental "
Rumble " by
Link Wray , "
Rock Around the Clock " by
Bill Haley and His Comets and the
Super Mario Bros. theme by
Koji Kondo each clock in at under three minutes. The Edison "Talking Doll" cylinder is only 17 seconds long and some of Scott de Martinville's Phonautographs are just as brief. Meanwhile,
Georg Solti 's recording of
Wagner 's complete
Ring Cycle is approximately 15 hours in duration,
[ 115]
Alexander Scourby 's recitation of the
King James Bible is over 80 hours, and
Lyndon B. Johnson 's recordings are nearly 850 hours in length.
Two significant
podcast episodes are included: "
The Giant Pool of Money " from
This American Life (focusing on the
subprime mortgage crisis causing the
Great Recession ) and the
Robin Williams interview from
WTF with Marc Maron (before his death from suicide in 2014).
[ 116]
[ 117]
The Super Mario Bros. theme is the first piece of
video game music to be selected for the Registry.
