[78-L] cleaning and digitizing 78s Taiwan?

[Bob Rice]

  Interesting Post, as I spent some time in Taiwan, 40 plus YEARS ago. 
Friends DID have a wind up player, I don't THINK it was a Victrola, but 
MAYBE victrolas were common in Taiwan? Or Japanese equilivents. as Taiwan 
was part of the Japanese Empire, starting in 1895?

    So, was thinking? WAS there a record industry in Taiwan , YEARS ago? 
Locally made 78's? I'm glad to see Yin Feng doing R and D into the 
subject.I'm sure there were alot of Japanese offerings back then, but a 
Formosa, as it was called back then, industry, would be of interest?MUST 
have enough Taiwanese tunes to support a record  industry?

    Seeya

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!
