Summary
MOEB’s collection includes Compo recordings and documents from the 1920s to 1950s. Arcmtl has audio, graphical, and textual records that complement MOEB’s selections by representing later chapters in the story of Compo, from its sale to Decca records in the 1950s to its rebirth as MCA in the 1970s. The goal of the project is to digitize an encyclopedic selection of recordings by Compo and its family of record labels, including music, radio broadcasts and advertisements, and to archive and make accessible these documents of Canadian music and radio history to the public.

Description (French)
La collection du Musée des ondes Emile Bierliner (MOEB) comprend des enregistrements et des documents datant des années 1920 à 1950. ARCMTL possède des documents sonores, graphiques et textuels qui complètent les sélections du MOEB en abordant les chapitres ultérieurs de l’histoire de Compo, de son achat par Decca Records dans les années 1950 à son retour dans les années 1970 sous le nom de MCA. L’objectif de ce projet est de numériser une sélection encyclopédique d’enregistrements par Compo et ses maisons de disques, notamment de la musique, des reportages radio et des annonces, et d’archiver et de rendre accessibles au public ces documents sur la musique canadienne et l’histoire de la radio.
Expected Results
Short-term: Strengthening relationship between local not-for-profit organizations in Quebec. Employment of a young professional for a temporary position at the MOEB. Engagement of the local volunteer community interested in the recording and radio industry (80 to 150 people, including volunteers of the Société québécoise des collectionneurs de radios anciens (SQCRA)) as expert contributors to the project and/or as test-audience for the online archive. Online access to holdings of both organizations. Long-term: An increase in the knowledge of Canada’s historic role in the recording, music and radio broadcasting industries. Securing audio content of rare and at-risk holdings at both organizations, providing public access to documents related to Canadian history. Online participation of 200 000 visits over a 5-year period.
