SWISSSERVERS.NET is made available public domain records from Switzerland of the Musical Heritage Organization.

The Server Management Project is a foundational infrastructure initiative by the Musical Heritage Organisation. Its primary purpose is the procurement, deployment, and management of robust web servers, high-capacity file servers, and high-speed bandwidth. This infrastructure makes a massive archive of public domain audio recordings and historical visual materials globally accessible. Key assets preserved and shared through this project include:

Audio Archives: Digitized wax cylinders and public domain musical recordings.

Visual Documentation: High-resolution photographs of archival facilities, vinyl discs, album covers, wax cylinder containers, and detailed close-ups of shellac record center labels showing historical matrix numbers.

Web Broadcasting: Dedicated streaming servers that power the organization's continuous online broadcasts.

By bridging historical preservation with modern server technology, this project ensures that the world's shared musical history remains securely stored and freely accessible to researchers, musicians, and the general public.

With the help of volunteers our team cleans, cataloged and digitized 78 rpm gramophone- and early vinyl records. After the clearing of copyrights, free works are available inside our media pool and Wikimedia Commons (CC0 Project, PD Project).

In order do not further damage grammophone- and vinyl records with needles, since 2010 we digitize with an ELP laser turntable (LT-2XA). All discs are carefully washed by hand before the digitization with a Keith Monks Dual-RCM. For the equalizing we are using three different phono preamplifiers. This means that the audio signals can be processed in the best possible quality by taking the correct equalizer setting. Acoustic and electrical recordings before 1925 had no cutting characteristics. Smaller labels only began to standardize their recordings in the mid-of the 1930s. Before the introduction of the RIAA equalization in 1955 there was no standardization. There was wild growth.

We are continue the digitization work without any budget due to the cancellation of public subsidies for archives with international orientation. We search donors and volunteers!
