Discography of American Historical Recordings

Last updated

The Discography of American Historical Recordings (DAHR) is a database catalog of master recordings made by American record companies during the 78rpm era. [1] The 78rpm era was the time period in which any flat disc records were being played at a speed of 78 revolutions per minute. [2] The DAHR provides some of these original recordings, free of charge, via audio streaming, [1] along with access to the production catalogs of those same companies. DAHR is part of the American Discography Project (ADP), and is funded and operated in partnership by the University of California, Santa Barbara, the National Endowment for the Humanities, [3] and the Packard Humanities Institute.

Database catalog

The database catalog is based mainly on materials stored at the successors of the original production companies, with some additional research. [1] Catalogs compiled by specialists are also used. [5]

National Jukebox

The American Discography Project is partnered with the National Jukebox Project of the Library of Congress. As a result, Victor Talking Machine Company recordings from 1900 to 1925, [1] and other recordings digitized by the University of California, Santa Barbara, are available on the National Jukebox.
