      <p><font color="#996666" size="7">C</font>ylinder recordings, the first 
        commercially produced sound recordings, are a snapshot of musical and 
        popular culture in the decades around the turn of the 20th century. They 
        have long held the fascination of collectors and have presented challenges 
        for playback and preservation by archives and collectors alike.</p>
      <p> With funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the 
        UCSB Libraries have created a digital collection of nearly 7,000 cylinder 
        recordings held by the Department of Special Collections. In an effort 
        to bring these recordings to a wider audience, they can be freely downloaded 
        or streamed online.</p>
      <p>On this site you will have the opportunity to find out more about the 
        cylinder format, listen to thousands of musical and spoken selections 
        from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and discover a little-known 
        era of recorded sound. If you know what you are looking for click the <a href="search.php">search button</a> 
        to begin, or you can <a href="browse.php">browse by genre</a> or sample some of our favorite selections in the featured cylinder 
        section or by listening to online <a href="radio.php">streaming radio</a>.</p>
