The National Gallery of the Spoken Word (NGSW) will create a significant,
fully searchable, online database of spoken word collections that span
the 20th century -- the first large-scale repository of its kind. NGSW
will provide storage for these digital holdings and public exhibit
"space" for the most evocative collections.  From Thomas Edison's first
cylinder recordings, to the voices of Babe Ruth and Florence Nightingale,
and Studs Terkel's timeless interviews, the collections of the NGSW will
cover a variety of interests and topics. The NGSW is designed as an
expansive repository of aural resources.  Over time, it will grow to
include many more collections from partnering institutions around
the country.
