Is there a way of uploading audio files?

Question

I have several audio files from interviews in the 1970's with an uncle and my father. I currently have them on my family-history website (www.childers-shepherd.org, begun before Wikitree existed) but as I've begun copying my files to Wikitree, I would like to bring them over for the respective profiles.

Answer 1

Hi Dwight,

Lauren is correct that there is not a way to load the files onto WikiTree's servers. Like with video files, you need to host them elsewhere and link them. Since you have them on your personal website already, maybe that will be easy.

P.S. Although we could think about adding this sort of functionality in the future, it's unlikely we will. Since we're a free website, we need to carefully contain hosting costs. Video and audio files can take up a lot of space and become expensive to host.

Answer 2

I was wondering that myself recently.  If there isn't an option at this point, maybe using something like YouTube or a separate website containing audio files that can be linked to a particular profile?
