Welcome to the online catalogue of the Archive Trust for Research in Mathematical Sciences & Philosophy, a UK registered charity (no. 1141862) creating a permanent, freely accessible digital archive of recorded scientific thought in mathematics, physics and the philosophy of science.
At its heart is the Michael Wright Collection: thousands of recordings of lectures, seminars and conference talks from the 1970s onwards, capturing many of the leading mathematicians, physicists and philosophers of the era — including Roger Penrose, Michael Atiyah and F. W. Lawvere — much of it preserved nowhere else.
Use the browse menu or the search box above to explore the collection by archival description, speaker, subject or place.
Digitised recordings can be streamed, with searchable transcripts, on the Archive Trust website. To learn more about the Trust and how to support its work, visit archivetrust.org.
This is the Trust's archival catalogue — a searchable index of the collection. To listen, open a recording and follow its "listen" link to the Archive Trust website (archivetrust.org), where talks stream with synchronised transcripts. Recordings not yet online can be requested by email.
