This admittedly provocative title nevertheless calls attention to a situation which already exists and which may become critical in the future. No sound recording can be considered in isolation from the technical system which produced it.

This paper examines the range of such required knowledge and the means by which it may be taught to personnel likely to be involved with archival material.
