National Recording Registry
The National Recording Registry is a list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States." The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,[1] which created the National Recording Preservation Board, whose members are appointed by the Librarian of Congress. The recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry form a registry of recordings selected yearly by the National Recording Preservation Board for preservation in the Library of Congress.[1]
Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech was one of 50 recordings preserved in 2002, the first year of existence of the United States National Recording Registry.
The National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 established a national program to guard America's sound recording heritage. The Act created the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation.[2] The purpose of the Registry is to maintain and preserve sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.[1] Beginning in 2002, the National Recording Preservation Board has selected recordings nominated each year to be preserved.
The first four yearly lists each had 50 selections. Since 2006, 25 recordings have been selected annually. As of 2019, a total of 550 recordings have been preserved in the Registry. Each calendar year, public nominations are accepted for inclusion in that year's list of selections, which are announced the following spring.
Each yearly list typically includes a few recordings that have also been selected for inclusion in the holdings of the National Archives' audiovisual collection. Recordings on the National Recording Registry that are of a political nature tend to overlap with the audiovisual collection of the National Archives. The list shows overlapping items and whether the National Archives has an original or a copy of the recording.
Selection criteria
The criteria for selection are:
- Recordings selected for the National Recording Registry are "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant", and/or inform or reflect culture in the United States.[3]
- Recordings will not be considered for inclusion in the National Recording Registry if no copy of the recording exists.[3]
- No recording is eligible for inclusion in the National Recording Registry until ten years after the recording's creation.[3]

Notes
- also a National Film Registry inductee
- The original 25 recordings from July 24, 1933, and July 28, 1934, are preserved at the Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park, New York.[6]
- Library of Congress sources conflict regarding the Pat Bonner recording in the registry. A list of 2005 additions names both "Schooner Bradley" and "Clifton's Crew", however the stated 50 selections actually number 51.[15] The press release names only "Schooner Bradley"[11], as does a complete registry listing.[16] Contrarily, a list of registry titles with descriptions and expanded essays names only "Clifton's Crew".[17]
Statistics
As of 2019, the oldest recording on the list is Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville's Phonautograms which date back to the 1850s.[68] The most recent is Colin Currie's 2008 recording of Jennifer Higdon's Percussion Concerto.[69]
Selections vary widely in duration. Both the early Edison recordings and the instrumental "Rumble" by Link Wray, as well as "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets clock in at under three minutes; the Edison Talking Doll cylinder is only 17 seconds long and some of Scott de Martinville's Photoautograms are just as brief. Meanwhile, Georg Solti's recording of Wagner's complete Ring Cycle is approximately 15 hours in duration and Alexander Scourby's recitation of the King James Bible is over 80 hours in length.[69]
