The Library of Historical Audio Recordings at I78s is the public portal into the Giovannoni Collection—an extensive private archive of sound recordings on cylinders and discs from the 1890s through the 1930s. In this presentation led by David Giovannoni, the site's conception, design, and features are introduced, followed by a guided tour highlighting categories of content which are likely to be of particular interest to students of the spoken word.
