Campus sounds from 1960 to 2019

While doing some research for a project, I came across a wonderful series from the University of Auckland called 'Soundtrack to your studies'. It paints a year-by-year picture of campus sounds from 1960 to 2019.

The series seems designed as a set of stand-alone landing pages as I couldn’t find any obvious navigation, and only discovered more by editing the URL directly. Keep that in mind if you explore it yourself.

I especially enjoyed the snapshots of artists and bands performing for new students during O-Week in the 1990s. That rabbit hole even led me to a YouTube bootleg (audio only) of Nirvana’s 1992 show at the Logan Campbell Centre — a pretty amazing find.
