The Arhoolie Foundation's Strachwitz Frontera Collection of commercially produced Mexican and Mexican-American recordings (the Frontera Collection) is the largest repository of Mexican and Mexican-American vernacular recordings in existence. With funding from Los Tigres del Norte Foundation the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center has sponsored the digitization of the first section of the collection by the Arhoolie Foundation. These performances were recorded primarily in the United States and Mexico and issued on 78 rpm phonograph recordings during the first half of the twentieth century. This vast digitized collection of approximately 30,000 recordings is now available to researchers and the general public.

VoxForge was set up to collect transcribed speech for use in Open Source Speech Recognition Engines ("SRE"s) such as such as ISIP, HTK, Julius and Sphinx. We will categorize and make available all submitted audio files (also called a 'Speech Corpus") and Acoustic Models in GPL format. Users can record themselves reading text excerpts in their native language, or they can access the recordings already recorded in all languages
