AudioCulture is a New Zealand On Air funded online project billed as the "Noisy library of New Zealand Music". Working with artists, historians and music industry people, the website tells the story of nearly 100 years of New Zealand popular music culture, from the first vinyl recording in the 1920s to digital streaming.

The website launched on 31 May 2013, with 250 published pages and since then has been growing steadily with new pages and stories added regularly.

Organisation

The site was founded by Music industry person Simon Grigg [1] and funded completely by NZ On Air and overseen by the same trust that’s in charge of the sibling project NZ On Screen.
