The Essex Sound and Video Archive is part of the Essex Record Office. We collect and care for a large collection of sound and video recordings that reflect many aspects of Essex history. We make copies of these precious sound and video recordings available in the Chelmsford Searchroom, and you can also listen to sound recordings at the archive access points at Saffron Walden and Harlow.
