 === I have a lot of shellac/vinyl recordings in my basement. How can I help you? ===
 First thank you that you would like to share your collection with the world. Depending on your situation there are different ways how you could help us:
-* If you need the space immediately and you don't want to keep your records you can send us your recordings, well packed, by mail or bring it to a Public Domain Project archive location. Currently there is only one address: Swiss Foundation Public Domain, P.O. Box 52, CH-8126 Zumikon, Switzerland or ask [[user:Fuchur]] for a time, date and detailed location.

 * If you would like that we digitize your recordings the first step you can do is to sort out the records who are already public domain. Then you can write down the records you have to digitize to the community portal site [[community_portal:records_to_digitize]] including your name and your location. We then try to find a person/institution close enough to your location. In the beginning, this could take a long time but we hope to get more support around the world in the next years.
 * If you would like to digitize your records your self, read our articles how we digitize the records ourself and contact our technician [[user:Nuess0r]] for more advice and to make sure the files you provide match our quality level.
