SWISS FOUNDATION PUBLIC DOMAIN
The Swiss Foundation Public Domain is a charitable organization under the supervision of the Federal Department of Home Affairs. The foundation is specialized in the conservation and utilization of public domain music and film material.
We see our mission as rescuing recordings from past decades, produced on sensitive and easily damaged materials, from deterioration and potential oblivion. Our first goal is to have gramophone records and motion pictures, which are an invaluable resource, transformed into longterm readable and usable data files by expert staff, using state of the art procedures (such as FLAC and Theora). Our second goal is the investigation of the copyright status, the cataloging of the description of any work in our database and the upload to Wikimedia Commons.
PUBLIC DOMAIN PROJECT

Under the working title "Public Domain Project" exists since 2009 the digitizing project which is supported by WMAT, WMCH and WMDE. This project, including the MediaWiki and the archives, is available to everyone.
