IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Thank you for your interest in the Historical Sound Recordings collection at Yale. Due to the impending move of the collection, we will be unable to fulfill requests from patrons external to Yale until May 2013. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

Unlocking Historical Audio Collections was a collaborative project between Yale University, Stanford University, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and Syracuse University to provide bibliographic access to 78-rpm (pre-LP) recordings at all four institutions. The project ended November 30, 2009.

Funded by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the project contributed full-level MARC cataloging for commercial 78s in the Historical Sound Recordings Collection at Yale, the Archive of Recorded Sound at Stanford, the Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound at New York Public Library, and the Belfer Audio Laboratory and Archive at Syracuse University.
