Recovery Speakers has preserved and published more than 20,000 historic recordings documenting the Twelve-Step movement. Thousands more remain undigitized on aging analog media.
Further digitization is not simply a technical upgrade. It determines whether irreplaceable recovery history survives.
What Support Makes Possible
With serious investment, Recovery Speakers will:
- Complete digitization of remaining reel-to-reel recordings
- Prevent permanent loss of historically significant voices
- Expand global access to recovery history
- Build a modern research and discovery platform
- Strengthen search, organization, and usability
- Integrate transcripts and topic indexing
- Support educators, historians, and recovery communities
The next phase is platform transformation. We are building a structured digital archive capable of serving individuals, researchers, and institutions at scale.
This work requires meaningful financial support.
Preservation without completion leaves history vulnerable.
Completion unlocks global access.
