I would argue that this is an example of history that people do not know about. Prohibition Era music and history is incredibly popular, but World War I history and music of that time period. Plus, most Victrola history is located at the Camden Country Historical Society--who have NO digitized records available to the public! I think Victrola played a major role in popularizing genres of American music, and I'd love to see the correlation between Victrola record sales and certain artists' success, specifically African American musicians. I want to know what kinds of music different ethnic communities consumed and loved and played.
