After a couple false starts I've found a home for my dubs of 78s - the Internet Archive, http://www.archive.org/. Am starting with pipers, search for "uilleann" and you'll see what I've done to date. I'm keeping a daily log of what I've added at the Chiff and Fipple Uilleann Pipes Forum, too, it's a "Sticky" topic at the top, "78 RPM recordings available online." Will proceed to fiddling, then fluting. I'll be throwing in most anything that isn't commercially available at the moment, lots of sides that have never been reissued too.
Enjoy!
Some of them do seem to be labeled incorrectly, though... for instance I tried to listen to Phil Martin play The Cup of Tea and The Flogging reel, but the track was a set of hornpipes.
78s online - finally!

Brilliant Kevin, much appreciated that you make the effort. Little mistakes can always be cleared up later, hopefully. All ear candy is welcome!
