Editing Delia Derbyshire (section)

==Archive==
After Derbyshire's death, 267 [[Reel-to-reel audio tape recording|reel-to-reel tapes]] and a box of a thousand papers were found in her attic. These were entrusted to the composer [[Mark Ayres]], who had salvaged the tape archive of the Radiophonic Workshop, and in 2007 were given on permanent loan to the [[University of Manchester]] for preservation. The tapes consist primarily of material from Derbyshire's freelance projects (e.g. works for theatre productions, films and festivals), some of her BBC work (the majority of Derbyshire's BBC work, including the original version of the ''Doctor Who'' theme, is housed in the BBC Archive Centre at Perivale), off-air recordings of interviews with Derbyshire and recordings of music by other composers and musicians, including [[Karlheinz Stockhausen]], [[Krzysztof Penderecki]] and [[Can (band)|Can]]. Almost all the tapes were digitised in 2007 by Louis Niebur and David Butler, but none of the music has been published owing to copyright complications.<ref name="Wrench">{{cite news |last1=Wrench |first1=Nigel |title=Lost tapes of the Dr Who composer |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7512072.stm |access-date=3 September 2020 |work=BBC News |date=18 July 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200601161938/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7512072.stm |archive-date=1 June 2020}}</ref><ref>Murray, A.
