National Jukebox

Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on

Teachers can now listen to more than 10,000 historical sound recordings using the Library of Congress' new National Jukebox. From ragtime to novelty songs to opera, these songs are now available in an easy-to-use player that lets users create and manage their own playlists. More songs will become available over time, so please visit and explore often.

The Library of Congress makes historical sound recordings available to the public free of charge. The Jukebox includes recordings from the extraordinary collections of the Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation and other contributing libraries and archives.

Try out the National Jukebox Sampler which has 14 selections representing the diversity of repertoire to be found in this repository. These performances were recorded between 1901 and 1912.
