[78-L] cleaning and digitizing 78s

[I. Cubillo]

What I recommend to you is to search through Google. There are myriads of
websites devoted to these subjects. Try to attach to official websites, like
the ones sustained by national archives, The Library Of Congress (US), The
BBC, British Sound Research Institute (into the British Library) and the
like. You'll find lots of information about the matter.

You'd better try first websites devoted to recordings, like IASA
(International Association for Sound Archives), IARSC (International
Association for Recorded Sound Collections) and the like.

Sure you'll have lots of documents on the subject to study thoroughly!
