An extremely rich collection of sounds. Of particular interest the Oral History collection: http://sounds.bl.uk/Oral-history
This collection contains the Listening project: http://sounds.bl.uk/Oral-history/The-Listening-Project
(The Listening Project is an audio archive of conversations recorded by the BBC. People are invited to share an intimate conversation with a close friend or relative, to be recorded and broadcast (in edited form) by the BBC and curated and archived in full by the British Library. These one-to-one conversations, lasting up to an hour and taking a topic of the speakers' choice, collectively form a picture of our lives and relationships today.)
The materials seem particularly interesting for language learning use, but could also be used in other learning paths.
No reference to CC licenses, but the "Legal and ethical usage" page seems to authorize any use for teaching purposes.
Legal and ethical usage
The recordings on this website are governed by licence agreements between the British Library and the Licensors. The material is intended solely for the purposes of teaching, learning and research. Any misuse of the materials such as illegal file sharing, misquotation, misappropriation or decontextualisation constitutes a breach of these agreements. Please treat the materials with respect as a failure to do so constitutes a breach of the trust we have built up with the licensors.
The British Library has established a framework for including recordings in online delivery projects that considers both legal and ethical issues. The Library respects the intellectual property rights, including moral rights of the rights owners and has made all reasonable effort to contact and consult recordists and rights owners including, where appropriate, artists and communities directly and via local community organisations.
