Stream 385,000 Vintage 78 RPM Records at the Internet Archive: Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller, Billie Holiday & More via Open Culture[Shared]

We may have yet to develop the technology of time travel, but recorded music comes pretty close. Those who listen to it have experienced how a song or an album can, in some sense, transport them right back to the time they first heard it. But older records also have the much stranger power to conjure up eras we never experienced. You can musically send yourself as far back as the nineteen-twenties with the above Youtube playlist of digitized 78 RPM records from the George Blood collection.

The image shows a YouTube video thumbnail featuring a vinyl record label. The label is predominantly blue with gold lettering. At the top, the word "DECCA" is prominently displayed in large, bold letters. Below it, the text reads "TRADE MARK REGISTERED" and "MANUFACTURED IN U.S.A. BY DECCA RECORDS, INC." The catalog number "(64823)" is visible on the left side. The title of the record, "TOODLE LOO ON DOWN," is centered, with the subtitle "(Sturgis-Williams)" underneath. The artist's name, "RODNEY STURGIS," is listed, followed by "With Lovie Jordon's Elks Rendezvous Band." The catalog number "7550 A" is at the bottom. The label also indicates "Blues Singing with Orchestra." The video thumbnail includes a red play button in the center, and the text "Watch on YouTube" is visible at the bottom left corner. The top of the image shows the video title "Rodney Sturgis With Lovie Jordon's Elks Rendezvous Band..." along with options to "Watch later" and "Share," and a progress indicator showing "1/95."

The Internet Archive deleted two of my books, presumably because they contained nude images in what were otherwise serious and semi-academic books discussing serious subjects.

Does no one care about context any more? I literally wasn't sharing "porn" because "porn" is about intent unless you are going to argue that just ANY nude body is "porn" (which would be insane).

'For many years, the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) maintained a large library of books on drug use and policy at its New York City headquarters. As researchers shifted to working online, DPA’s Jules Netherland said she noticed fewer people coming into the office to use the collection.'

@SusiArnott I list the Internet Archive as one suggestion on the tip jar page on my personal web site, for the case where people want to make a monetary contribution as a thank you gesture for something I've published there. Not sure how much that *really* helps but I figure at the very least it is unlikely to hurt.

This is really bad. I wonder though, if they dont waste a ton of resources. It seems like they have hundreds of duplicated page archives, sometimes multiple times a day?

I hope they dedupe them somehow in the background? Otherwise that would be pure insanity. Like, dump all archives and only keep the ones with different content?

I have the feeling they are extremely uneconomically, but maybe that is wrong?
