The record collection of late, legendary BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel will soon be available to browse online, as the BBC reports. His collection of LPs will be added in increments of 100 each week from May through October at a website called the Space, run by the BBC and Arts Council England.

According to Tom Barker, director of the John Peel Centre in Suffolk, England, the virtual collection will function as "an online interactive museum." Scanned album artwork will offer a visualization of each album, some of which will be available to stream. Others will point to archives of the now iconic "Peel Sessions." Baker told the BBC, "this is the first step in the journey of making one of the most important archives in modern music history available completely."

The collection will also feature notes from Peel, as well as video interviews with artists and family members. It will first focus on Peel's collection of 25,000 vinyl LPs, although his library also includes CDs and 40,000 vinyl singles, as the BBC notes.

After serving nearly four decades at the BBC, Peel died in 2004, but his legacy as an eclectic DJ and advocate for independent, offbeat music has lived on. Peel's widow Sheila Ravenscroft told the BBC, "We're very happy that we've finally found a way to make John's amazing collection available to his fans, as he would have wanted."
