The Project
"The Digitization Project currently focuses on discs that are less likely to be commercially available or available at all in Digital form particularly focusing on underrepresented Artists and Genres.
Digitization will make this less commonly available Music Accessible to researchers in a format where it can be manipulated and studied without harming the Physical Artifacts.
We have preserved the often very prominent Surface Noise and Imperfections and included files generated by different sizes and shapes of stylus to facilitate different Kinds of Analysis."
