A vast collection of 78 rpm records is being donated to Syracuse University by the estate of a prominent New York City record shop owner.
The more than 200,000 records represented the entire inventory of "Records Revisited," a landmark Manhattan store owned by Morton Savada, who died in February of lung cancer at age 85.
The collection, valued at $1 million, weighs 50 tons and represents more than a half-century of American music history.
Included are recordings from 1895 to the 1950s, with big band, jazz, country, blues, gospel, polka, folk, Broadway, Hawaiian and Latin among the genres. The collection also contains spoken-word, comedy and broadcast recordings, and "V-disks," which were distributed as entertainment to the U.S. military during World War II.
