About the National Jukebox

The Library of Congress presents the National Jukebox, which makes historical sound recordings available to the public free of charge. The Jukebox includes recordings from the extraordinary collections of the Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation and other contributing libraries and archives. Recordings in the Jukebox were issued on record labels now owned by Sony Music Entertainment, which has granted the Library of Congress a gratis license to stream acoustical recordings.

At launch, the Jukebox includes more than 10,000 recordings made by the Victor Talking Machine Company between 1901 and 1925. Jukebox content will be increased regularly, with additional Victor recordings and acoustically recorded titles made by other Sony-owned U.S. labels, including Columbia, OKeh, and others.

The Big Car­toon Data­Base Blog Site.

This project started because we were bored. And, we wanted an easy way to look up infor­ma­tion about car­toons, a ded­i­cated car­toon fil­mog­ra­phy and in depth episode guide. While IMdb is very good for movies, and has some car­toon infor­ma­tion, it did not seem to us to be enough. So, we decided to make some­thing that did suit our needs, The Big Car­toon Data­Base (and lots of long nights) ensued.

First and fore­most, this is a labor of love. No one gets paid a dime for doing this fil­mog­ra­phy— in fact, we loose money monthly just run­ning the darn thing. But it is some­thing we enjoy, and so we will keep doing it, updat­ing and adding every chance we get. While the project started as a cou­ple of guys in Salt Lake City with too much time on their hands, we are very indebted to those oth­ers– who, like us, love car­toons– and have given freely of their time, hard work and research to help make The Big Car­toon Data­Base what it is today.

BCDB started as an Access data­base on my work com­puter. I had a list of all the Dis­ney fea­ture car­toons (peo­ple often ask me what the “offi­cial” list is, so I kept my own copy). Then I found a fil­mog­ra­phy of about 5000 car­toons that Nobuo Mochizuki main­tains at Shizuoka Uni­ver­sity Library in Japan. Nobuo was very kind and sent us his source, and we had enough info to get started. Since then, infor­ma­tion, car­toon his­tory and episode guides has come from all over the world– Aus­tralia, United King­dom, France, Japan— even Rus­sia. Sup­port has come from fans and pro­fes­sion­als alike, and we could not be more grate­fully for all the sup­port.

We have done our best to val­i­date the infor­ma­tion in the fil­mog­ra­phy. But some­times that can be hard to do, espe­cially for older car­toons. Please con­sider any errors in the data­base ours. How­ever, if you notice errors, it is pos­si­ble to send an error report for an indi­vid­ual car­toon right from its page. We want to do our best to make this the most infor­ma­tive, cor­rect resource possible!

But infor­ma­tion by itself is not use­ful if you can­not present it in an easy to use (and easy to main­tain) fash­ion. We needed scal­a­bil­ity, speed, secu­rity, speed, con­fig­ura­bil­ity and speed. We found all this (and more!) at Gos­samer Threads with Links SQL. While built as a “Links” data­base, àla Yahoo, it pro­vided the basis for what we turned into BCDB. And the sup­port has been tremen­dous– Alex is always avail­able to help in emer­gen­cies. And the online sup­port groups– most notably Pug­dog and Paul– have really helped us craft the episode guide and filmography.

DRAM

 

DRAM

DRAM is a not-for-profit resource providing educational communities with on-demand streaming access to CD-quality audio (192kbps Mp4), complete original liner notes and essays from independent record labels and sound archives. Continuing in the tradition of DRAM's sister company New World Records, one of DRAM's primary focuses is the preservation and dissemination of important recordings that have been neglected by the commercial marketplace, recordings that may otherwise become lost or forgotten.
Currently DRAM's collection contains more than 3,000 albums worth of recordings from a distinctive set of 26 independent labels, and we are continually working to add more content. The basis for the current collection is the diverse catalogue of American music recordings by New World Records. From folk to opera, Native American to jazz, 19th century classical to early rock, musical theater, contemporary, electronic and beyond, New World has served composers, artists, students and the general public since its inception in 1975 with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.
DRAM also includes music from other contributing sources, including the CRI, Albany, innova, Cedille, XI, Pogus, Deep Listening and Mutable Music labels. In the future, alliances with other major and independent labels and archival sources will be crucial to enhancing DRAM's role of serving the needs of serious music scholars.

DRAM is accessible to anyone at a participating university, college or public library. At this time, individual subscriptions are not available, though DRAM intends to offer them in the future.
DRAM does not limit the number of users at any one time, and offers subscribers unlimited access to all its contents from either on or off-campus locations. DRAM observes all legal and industry mandated copyright and artist royalties.
DRAM has been made possible with an initial grant from the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation and by substantial ongoing support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, as well as all of DRAM's participating institutions.

Orato.com: Speak from experience

Speaking of names ... what's ours have to do with what we do? Orato translates from the Latin to "I speak" and that is exactly what we invite Correspondents to do – tell our audience about newsworthy experiences emerging from their corner of the planet, the novel places, people, events, careers, culture, discoveries and skills that make them a source of trustworthy information for others seeking advice or doing reconnaissance on an eclectic range of subjects.

Because life is not a spectator sport, Orato is an online magazine that knows writers are participating in, as well as observing, the activities that spin the world on its axis, making them genuine experts with knowledge to share and illuminating encounters to relate. Orato broadcasts this news when Correspondents in the field post dispatches to the site as constant explorers of all things that fascinate. Learn more from our FAQ and meet our team - journalists, tech geeks, designers, and information junkies - who want more from the traditional media than headlines and sound bites. We think mainstream journalism leaves room for upstarts like ourselves with something to prove and we’ve hired some of the best to make it so.
