78 RPM Label Database

[OrthoFan]

There was a recent post, which I can't find now, about the fact that most of the data is missing from THIS site's 78 RPM Record Label database.

I culled through my archive of old bookmarks and found this -- http://78rpmrecord.com/labelview.cfm?firstLetter=A -- which takes you to the database's first page. Seems there are thousands of labels illustrated, and tons of information still to be filled in.

I wish we had a way to make links like this a sticky somewhere.

Most forums that have the "sticky" links have that done by the moderator, and it helps if the moderator is passionate about the hobby. I don't even have a Model T and I still like the Model T Ford Club of America forum because the people there have a real love of history & understand the significance of the little details.

It's tough sometimes to run these websites. Hats off to them who do; the greatest accolades, however, are best reserved for those who both support the hobby in collecting and support it in archiving.

If this forum went down, most of the phonograph hobby's collective free knowledge would go with it. If this forum's data and record-keeping posts were better organized, anyone could get into phonographs!

I agree 100% Charles.

I started a list in the Archives section with links to 78rpm label sites viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17944&p=262705#p262705. If you let me know more links I can add them to the list, so at least it will be consolidated in the Archives like the Featured Phonographs.

Thanks
Andreas
