Hi Lauren,
We at the Borror Laboratory of Bioacoustics are working on
adding some bat recordings to our archive. All of our other
recordings are digitized at 50 kHz, which is clearly a lot lower than
the sample rate of the bat recordings. For us, adding recordings to
the archive and adding the associated data to our database have been
closely linked procedures, and we'll have to separate these procedures
to incorporate the higher-sample-rate sounds. I don't think this is
of concern to you, though. For general information on our collection
and our digitizing process, you can browse our web site:

While not bat-centered, perhaps you will find some information on
sound archiving that might be useful to you. Feel free to contact me
with any specific questions as you proceed.
