The Virtual Gramophone: Canadian Historical Sound Recordings

This site from the National Library of Canada lets you see and hear music of the First World War era. The latest addition to the Virtual Gramophone (last discussed in the January 12, 1999 Scout Report for Social Sciences) consists of over 700 recordings from the World War I era. Similar to other sections of the Virtual Gramophone, in addition to audio recordings, the WWI portion includes articles, pictures, and biographies of Canadian musical personalities, such as the Dumbells, a group of Canadian soldiers that entertained troops in the trenches during the war and toured North America from 1919 to 1932. The WWI additions are also cataloged in the extensive Virtual Gramophone database with over 30 descriptive fields, covering every detail of each recording.
