"The University of California have undertaken the Herculean task of digitising their peerless archive of wax cylinder recordings at the Santa Barbara Library. Dating from the late 19th and early 20th century and including everything from hit singles to recordings of animal noises, 10,000 cylinders from the archive have now been put online and are available to stream and download."
