The Great 78 Project is an initiative developed by the Internet Archive which aims to digitize 250,000 78 rpm singles (500,000 songs) from the period between 1880 and 1960, donated by various collectors and institutions. The project has been developed in collaboration with the ARChive of Contemporary Music and George Blood Audio, responsible for the audio digitization. The project is curated by B. George, director of the ARChive of Contemporary Music. The goal of the initiative is not to remaster or enhance the original recordings, but to present them as "historical artifacts". The majority of the 78 rpm records being digitized have never existed in any other form. More information...
