Some of you may recall my successful microgrant application, to obtain a Zoom H1 digital audio recorder.
It's taken a while, but the first four files made with that device are now on Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Files_generated_with_WMUK_Zoom_H...
and used in the English Wikipedia articles about their respective subjects. More are in the pipeline.
This is part of the project I started, to add recordings of article subjects speaking, so that we know what they sound like and how they pronounce their names:

Files may also be uploaded by subjects, emailed to me, or uploaded by other Wikipedians. Do you know someone who might contribute?
Great Andy.
