The Gary Allen Legacy Collection

Preserving the history of 911, one recording at a time.

For years, Gary Allen of Dispatch Magazine On-Line collected and preserved recordings that documented the history of emergency communications from everyday calls for help to incidents that became part of our collective memory.

Much of that original archive disappeared from the modern web. This collection preserves Gary’s work and makes these recordings accessible again, not simply as audio files, but as pieces of 911 history.

Originally curated by Gary Allen · Preserved by Imagine Listening

Thank you Gary, for giving me permission to do what I saw fit with your collection. I will always be grateful to you for sharing my project over a decade ago, and for being one of the people who believed in what I was doing from day one. RIP, brother.
