Abstract

A phonograph record is a type of audio resource that was used to record music, historical events, or various fields of knowledge in a certain era. This makes it an excellent piece of evidence for study, and it also provides enjoyment. Although phonograph records have been replaced by other information formats, nowadays, they have become popular again in Thailand and other countries. The resurgence is evident among those who grew up in the glory days of the phonograph record, as well as among the new generation, who have never experienced this type of media before. This article aims to introduce phonograph record libraries in Thailand and other countries that collect and provide phonograph records. Each library has different unique collections and services, which are useful for both research and recreation.
