The
Public
Domain Radio was created in 2009 as a part of the Public
Domain Project. From the movement to preserve public
domain recordings for our and future generations, we
established the Swiss
Foundation Public Domain in 2012. The foundation is a
dedicated community of collectors without assets in the background,
therefore we are dependent on donations.
With the help of Wikimedia
CH and the SOS
ETH we have started a digitizing project in 2014. A selection
of 2,500 public domain 78 rpm records are cleaned
and digitized. With the help of volunteers we plan to digitize
in the near future our complete collection of 50,000 78 rpm
records and phonograph cylinders.
These digitized historical recordings we will donate in high
quality to Wikimedia
Commons. In addition, these recordings replace the current
repertoire of Public Domain Classical.
Donations are welcome and tax deductible in Switzerland.
