The first sound recordings at LFK were made in 1926. Since then the technology in general and machinery to be used in particular have changed many times. Many of the sound carriers ever invented can be found also in the LFK, with a few exceptions, like wire recordings.

If a book has been preserved well enough to be readable and touchable, the only condition for it to be read is command of the language. To preserve a sound carrier is not enough. For it is not the human, but a machine, that must have the command of the language in order to read the information. Most of the playback devices are becoming extinct at an incredible rate and are not available to general public.

With CD being quite widespread and very convenient, LFK has prepared several compilations in this format. Of course, the quality of sound is that of an archive recording, not that of a modern studio level. But the content is the valuable thing, not the form.

 LFK 01 - Phonograph recordings

 LFK 03 - Liivi singers in 1962
 LFK 04 - Midsummer songs from Druviena, sung by folklore group Perlis

  LFK 05 - Lullabies This compilation is not yet finished, as more and more material can be found worthy of inclusion.
