This PhD-project examines how the radio archive of a national Norwegian broadcaster, NRK, can be developed for use in location based digital interpretation of natural- and cultural history. Will the archive sound be experienced as relevant in our modern age, and contribute to building knowledge, if one through media design as a method uses it to augment partially hidden stories in one of Norway’s most iconic landscapes? How does one curate the radio clips to achieve this? What kind of visual and auditive means must one use to augment the reality in the physical environment? And can one, by designing archive sound in this way, contribute to the preservation of natural- and cultural heritage sites?
