This popped up in my CBC news feed, but the Winnipeg Free Press had
more details.

The University of Manitoba first accepted and then rejected a
donation of 56,500 discs. Some points in the article don't seem to
hold up (like dates and record types), but here is a collection of
56,500 discs dating back to 1913 that appears to be looking for a
home. The collection apparently stops about 1990.
Cheers,
Richard
