World War One Accents and Dialects

If you're studying the Voice and Text modules at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, you may be interested to know about two web resources that the Library subscribes to.
 
Both are partially available on open public web access, but our subscription gets our members access to more of this quality material.
 

WWI Accents - on Scran database

 

You can find World War One accents on a Scottish web-resource called Scran.  There's a special page for WW1, and this link will take you to it.  (You'll have to login by selecting the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and then using your usual RCS login.)



 

WWI Accents on British Library Sounds website

You can find World War One accents on the British Library's 'British Library Sounds' database.  Go to the homepage and click on the link for Accents and Dialects.  (If you're off-campus, you'll have to login by selecting the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and then using your usual RCS login.) 

 

We are the very helpful Whittaker Library, here to help our staff and students access quality information for their teaching and learning.
