The Phonograph Shop Archives

[SimpleLifers]

Hi All,

Wanted to share a new endeavor Julie and I embarked on recently, The Phonograph Shop Archives.

We recently stumbled upon a high quality book scanner and gained unlimited access to a great collection of paper items. We are digitizing everything we can and making available to everyone.

The following is a blurb from the website:

The Phonograph Shop uses a museum quality book scanner to create our Archives. We take pride in offering the best quality digital files available. We also edit the files to remove any stained, ripped or damaged areas.

Our hope is to eventually create a repository of all phonographs, talking machines, and related material. We charge a nominal fee to cover the costs of storage (size and complexity of the file), equipment and acquiring new content for the archives. Our time is donated to the development of the Archives.

We gladly accept donations of loaned materials. This material will be added to the archive and the originals returned to their owners. Please contact us if you are interested in helping.

Wow, great endeavor! But how on earth, with a full time job + the Phonograph Shop parts business, do you find the time?

Great project. The APS website also has a fantastic archive section. Well worth the annual membership.
