Abstract: 

I have acquired over 100,000 gramophone discs and 250 machines over past twenty five years. Recently I have organized this collection in a unique museum and archive for the purpose of public outreach, preservation and dissemination. [Ref. https://www.facebook.com/discsandmachines ] The information contained in these discs and machines is invaluable. In this presentation, I want to elaborate on the long journey in realizing this dream project. I will also discuss future plans and strategies planned for wider outreach to masses.
