Welcome to the new 78rpm Collector’s Community website…
The 78rpm Collectors’ Community is a social network for collectors of 78rpms recordings, phonographs, memorabilia, recording machines and the history of the 78 rpm recording era.
We are a social group of collectors of 78rpm records – with a member base of over 6800 worldwide. Started in 2009 as a place for collectors to discuss and enjoy the hobby of collecting old-style records. It has steadily grown to become a premier research hub, archive and resource library for users to research record labels and recording artists with extensive user-created discographies on a range of record labels, artists and record genres available. Its interface is similar to FaceBook. It is free to join.
