Abstract: As ethnomusicologists we have always made and used recordings as part of our research yet we have seldom questioned this central methodology beyond stating that we make and use recordings ‘for our own research purposes’. This special issue explores the potential for the use of archival recordings as a central part of research to provide a more equitable and enduring outcome for the benefit of cultural heritage communities as well as for ethnomusicological scholarship. As such, we argue for a fairer ethnomusicology, in which access to knowledge—often encapsulated in recordings—is facilitated for all, with ethnomusicologists taking responsibility for their own part in this important process.
