The recordings were made on reel-to-reel tapes and were used to create the 1965 monograph 'The speech of Australian adolescents: a survey' and the revised 1965 publication 'The pronunciation of English in Australia' (originally published in 1946). The original reel-to-reel tapes were digitised by the National Film and Sound Archive, transferred to DAT recordings, and the digitised version was reissued as an online database 'The Mitchell and Delbridge tapes' by the University of Sydney in 1997-1998. The website included contextual documents and annotations to the online database, included in this dataset.
