To download an audio file from the Digital Archives:

1. Go to the "View Record" page of the audio file you want to download.

2. Right click anywhere on the page and choose "view source." (The phrase may vary depending on your browser.)

3. Choose Ctrl-F to find a phrase within the page. Search for ".mp3"

4. Copy everything from "strreaming" through ".mp3." You will have something that looks sort of like this:
streaming.digitalarchives.wa.gov/Media/25/444/1482/d3ad3458-9830-42e0-951d-f83eb2efcdaa.mp3

5. Paste what you just copied into the URL window of your browser. Replace "streaming" with "media" and hit enter.

6. On some browsers this will automatically download the file. Others such as Chrome will give you a streaming window--look for a download option. In chrome, right click on the play button and choose "save video as...."
