URGENT Call for help.

"Black Europe - The first comprehensive documentation of the sounds and images of black people in Europe pre-1927": Some 2000 recordings on phonograph cylinders, gramophone discs and films, with both still and moving images, featured people of African descent in Europe from the earliest years of the recording industry to immediately after the First World War. Many artefacts may be lost forever, but this effort is to trace and analyze the surviving evidence, and re-issue them all. Please check our comprehensive wants list at -
