Academia and Museums and Mechanical Music
By Dave Bowers

In numismatics the Newman Numismatic Portal has downloaded thousands
of magazines, catalogs, and other information on coins, tokens, medals,
and paper money.

It would be a wonderful archive if all of the past magazines of the
various automatic musical instrument societies, of dealers, of original
manufacturers, and others could be downloaded to a data store with free
access.  For current societies perhaps the publications might exclude
those of the past two years (so as not to dilute the value of current
membership).

I would be willing to donate to a non-profit entity that would do such
a thing. I imagine there would be worldwide interest.

All good wishes,
Dave Bowers - collector and researcher since 1960
Wolfeboro Falls, New Hampshire, USA
