Thanks to all the contributors for this enormously useful, and growing,
bibliography. To it, I suggest contemporary and collector-oriented serials
that are now accessible to all in the Internet Archive. The Media History
Project is a useful front-end, but its content is comparatively paltry.
Still, here you'll find complete runs of Talking Machine World and
Phonogram (1890s).

Through the Internet Archive directly (archive.org), one can access and
download such serials as 78 Quarterly, JEMF Quarterly, The Talking Machine
Review, Victrola and 78 Journal, and The New Amberola Graphic.
In addition to serials, valuable resources include CD notes that accompany
releases such as those from the Archeophone Records catalog.
