The Great 78 Project over at the Internet Archive has been professionally digitizing old 78 RPM records for a while now. These records were all made between 1898 and sometime in the 1950s. Over 20 collections have been selected for digital access and physical preservation with the help of George Blood, L.P. and the Archive of Contemporary Music. So far about 26,000 of the 78s have been added to the Internet Archive. Each disc has about 3 minutes of audio per side. Most of the discs are made from shellac and really quite brittle, perhaps even more brittle than today's digital formats.

i'll never go to your place of business again.
I don't care how many burgers and fries you sell everyday,
THIS IS SOYLENTNEWS and I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT ABOUT YOU!
Next it's Yelp.
Your server named, "Wendy" bumped into me and part of her wig shifted and
I felt her erect penis brush against me. I followed Wendy out of the bathroom
during her break and not only was she smoking crack RIGHT ON THE SINK,
but she was jacking off in a stall. After I reported this your "manager" named
Stan wouldn't do anything. No refund of my money, no sorry, nothing.
Thanks for nothing.
