Here is the original email. And the link: https://www.arsc-audio.org/pre23survey.html I have noticed from the discussions that I don't find it in my Outlook, but it shows up on my phone and on the webmail. Perhaps that's a clue for somebody. I was surprised at how many of these I have; for a garden-variety collector I guess I've done pretty well, but it took 60 years. ARSC Survey: Notable Pre-1923 Recordings Dear ARSC member, On January 1, 2022, the U.S. will establish for the first time a public domain for the earliest sound recordings. Virtually anything released before 1923, whether recorded in the U.S. or elsewhere, will become free to use in the U.S. ARSC wants to introduce this treasure trove to the public at large. So we are inviting you, the members of ARSC, to vote for ten "notable" recordings released before 1923 from a list of candidates that include popular, classical, roots music, spoken word, and social movements of the period. Your choices should not necessarily be your personal favorites, but rather the ones you think would be the best introduction to the era for the public at large. Go to <https://arsc-audio.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a26e794fbc0f97a88807f 973&id=7dbb7faffa&e=0df453f7bf> http://www.arsc-audio.org/pre23survey.html to review the list of recordings, hear them, and cast your votes. You can even write in your own candidate! Voting is open through Sunday, November 28, 2021. We think you'll have fun doing this. The Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and study of sound recordings, in all genres of music and speech, in all formats, and from all periods. ARSC is unique in bringing together private individuals and institutional professionals-everyone with a serious interest in recorded sound.
