Administrative Notes

Recorded Sound Provenance: The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum acquired digital copies of Record Group 238: National Archives Collection of World War II War Crimes Records, 1933 - 1949 | Series: Audio Recordings Relating to World War II War Crimes Trials, 1933 - 1949 from the National Archives and Records Administration in February 2019.
Recorded Sound Notes: The United States Army Signal Corps produced two sets of verbatim audio recordings of the Nuremberg Trials outside of the courtroom in a studio. Set A (archived at the International Court of Justice in the Hague) consists of 1,942 double-sided black disc gramophone records with a cellulose trinitrate lacquer surface and aluminum core made by the Presto Recording Corporation. Set B (archived at the US National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, DC) consists of cardboard and aluminum gramophone discs. The two sets are not exact copies and generally stagger against each other, but sometimes have the same start or stop time corresponding to the beginning or end of a court session. The digitized and restored files made from Set A (ICJ) are much better quality than the files from Set B (NARA) which contain occasional audio distortion, especially at the beginning of a file, and skipping throughout.

Full text transcripts and related documents of trial proceedings are available online via the Avalon Project. See "Trial of the Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal: Proceedings Volumes (The Blue Set).
