Have a great day.

There's a lot of music on 78rpm records that doesn't really exist anywhere electronically, which means they run the risk of being lost or nearly inaccessible to anyone without a physical copy of the record. When I find that one of my records doesn't have a presence online, I rip it myself and post it to my YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL9AR7WdrQg&list=PLY_7vE78x3GfGRn0iIkqIGE8QiU9BZNFF
Nice work! I once found at a thrift store a stack of Vocal Record Collectors' Society annual CDs, where the most tech-minded takes requests and records from the other members, rips them, and puts them on disc. I really admire that.

I then went on an hyperfocus bender, looking up information about the tracks. I still ended up with no information on a couple compositions, possibly due to inconsistent translations or straight-up typos
