Digitisation / Cataloguing of non-textual objects: Valorisation and digitisation of the recordings of the Prussian Phonographic Commission 1915-1918

"皇家普鲁士唱片委员会”成立于1915年，旨在记录德国战俘营中外国士兵的语言和音乐。该委员会于1915年底开始工作。不同语言、民族学和音乐方面的专家都参与了进来，心理学教授、柏林唱片档案馆的创始人卡尔·施通普夫（Carl Stumpf）成为委员会的主任。在柏林民族博物馆的柏林录音档案馆中，德国集中营囚犯的1022个蜡筒录音是最大的历史收藏。声音文件只包含录制的音乐，并附有适当的文件（录音日志、原文歌词和翻译、图画、照片和信件）。这些录音描绘了各种种族群体，最好是来自欧洲国家及其前海外领土。该项目的目标是对唱片委员会的录音以及所有相关的书面文件进行估价和整理，并将蜡筒上的数字化录音与柏林洪堡大学劳塔尔奇夫收藏的相应光盘结合在一起。 所有记录将在一个联合互联网门户网站上向公众提供。

The „Royal Prussian Phonographic Commission” was launched in 1915 to document the language and music of foreign soldiers in German prison camps. The commission started its work in the end of 1915. Specialists for different languages, ethnology and music were involved, and Carl Stumpf, professor of psychology and founder of the Berlin Phonogramm-Archive, became the commission’s director. Among the holdings of the Berlin Phonogramm-Archive in the Ethnological Museum Berlin, the 1022 recordings on wax cylinders of prisonars in German camps represent the largest historical collection. The sound files contain exclusively recorded music that is supplemented with appropriate documentation (recording logs, song texts in original language and translation, drawings, photographs and correspondence). The recordings portray a variety of ethnic groups, preferably from European countries and their former overseas territories. The project’s goal is to valorise and digitize the recordings, as well as all associated written documents, of the Phonographic Commission, and to bring together the digitized recordings on wax cylinders with the corresponding discs that are part of the holdings of the Lautarchiv of Humboldt-University in Berlin. All recordings will be made available to the public in a joint internet portal.
