Link to August 12 Wired Blog Network Listening Post, "One Man's Quest to Digitize and Publicize Rare Vinyl".And I'm more than happy to help him out with the publicity part of it.
Cliff Bolling has recorded 3,739 titles (as of now) from his collection of 78 rpm records. (You have to be of a certain age to remember playing these discs.) All of them are linked to MP3 files. "No sound enhancement, just what was recorded," Bolling notes.
