Interested in Cylinder recordings?
Since the spring of 2003, a web presentation of cylinder collections
in Swedish archives is available at the National Archive for Recorded
Sound and Moving Images (SLBA) home page:
http://www.ljudochbildarkivet.se/SLBA/FONOGRAF/index.htm
This is a result of a joint project between SLBA, the Centre for Folk
Music and Jazz Research (http://www.visarkiv.se/), and the Swedish
Broadcasting Corporation.
Apart from a presentation of the cylinder phonograph in Sweden
with sound samples (so far only in Swedish), a catalogue of more than
4,500 cylinders (commercial, archival, ethnographic,and private), of
which almost 800 are available in streaming format. An article about
the holdings and activities of the ethnographic cylinder archive at
the Ethnographic Museum in Stockholm, with original collections from
five continents recorded between 1910-30, will be published in
Fontes Artis Musicae vol. 50:1 this spring. Ethnographic cylinder
recordings of Sámi (Laplander) yojking from this archive were
released on cd in late 2003 (Svea fonogram SVCD 9, available from
http://www.visarkiv.se/).
