Not sure if these have meen mentioned yet, but Mainspring Press has recently added several free online discographies, such as
KEEN-O-PHONE, REX, AND IMPERIAL RECORDS The Complete Discography (1912 – 1918)
THE VICTOR DISCOGRAPHY: BLUE, GREEN, AND PURPLE LABELS (1910–1926)
These and several others are at https://78records.wordpress.com/free-online-discographies-columbia-e-series-spottswood-%E2%80%A2-jazz-records-1917-1934-rust/

Have we got

appears to be held in Hudderfield- see page
British dance band music recordings held on 78 RPM shellac and vinyl records. These records are part of the Charles Hippisley-Cox British Dance Band Collection that comprises c10,000 records of British dance band music.

"Hippisley-Cox, Charles: British Dance Band Collection
A collection of approximately 12,000 shellac 78 RPM and vinyl records containing at least 17,000 audio recordings of British Dance Band music from the 1910s to the1940s. The collection has been assembled by Charles Hippisley-Cox, a Senior Lecturer in Architectural Studies at the University of Huddersfield, who first started collecting the recordings in the early 1970s. The main focus of the collection is British recordings of dance band music from the inter-war period (the "Golden Age" of the British dance bands is widely believed to have been between 1928 and 1935), however there are some early examples of ragtime recordings from the 1910s and many recordings that were released throughout the 1940s. The vast majority of the records in the collection were commercially published 10-inch 78 rpm shellac discs with an A-side and B-side that both contain one track of up to three minutes, however there are also many rare and unreleased recordings that were never commercially distributed, and records that were made of other materials such as vinyl, card, glass, celluloid, aluminium and casein.


The collection is arranged by the name of the band or surname of the band leader that created the recording. This is the original order in which Charles Hippisley-Cox arranged and accessed the collection. The collection includes the recordingss of many famous dance band leaders such as Bert Ambrose, Roy Fox, Jack Hylton and Debroy Somers, and many famous dance bands such as the Savoy Orpheans, the Savoy Havana Band and the New Mayfair Dance Orchestra, but there are also thousands of recordings of less well-known bands.

To ensure the long-term preservation of these audio recordings the full collection has been digitised to current audio archival standards and access to the audio recordings is provided by these digital surrogates (copies), the physical records are accessible for researchers to consult alongside the digital audio.

The collection also includes a copy of the discography British Dance Bands On Record, 1911 To 1945, by Brian Rust and Sandy Forbes. This discography contains information about many of the recordings within this collection. "

I wish I had known of this collection , I could have placed some of my discs there and I made yet make contact for others to be added to them.

If visual label matching helps in dating/identifying, found some examples of US 78 labels illustrated as an unlikely offshoot to "Frank's Meagre Beatles Page" under the heading below

Grammophon-platten.de/news is actually linked twice in the second post, under both "Grammophon-Platten.de (in German)" and "German 78s (in German)." [Now fixed. Mod.]

Apologies if this link has already been posted and I'm just not seeing it, but there are a number of extremely useful discographies with recording dates and locations at http://discography.phonomuseum.at/, for Odeon, Parlophon, Telefunken and other German labels, as well as Fonotipia (under the Odeon heading).
[It was listed under "Austrian (and other) discographies". No wonder you couldn't find it. Now it's listed under International as Lindström Project: Austrian, German and other discographies (Beka, Odeon, Okeh, Parlophon, Fonotipia, Pathé, Vox, etc.). Mod.]

Bauer, Robert: The New Catalogue Of Historical Records 1898-1908/09, London 1947.(pdf download): Useful to track down and date early European matrix numbers such as the early Milan recordings appearing on the Columbia E-series.

Came across the Late Michael KInnear's bajakhana website while trying to figure out some of the whys and wherefores of 78rpm releases with Ceylon(as it was referred to colonially) /Sri Lankan relevance.

Plenty about releases on the "Gramophone Co." / "His Master's Voice" India labels in several languages, as well as others, including Persia.

From 45Revivalist on 45Cat forum:
As you might have seen, I’ve been trying to pinpoint full release dates (as opposed to months or even just years).

These websites are a goldmine. You might want to help me take a break from it all!

https://worldradiohistory.com/Disc.htm


Lots of magazines (click on Music Magazines at top of page) that can help with 78rpm release dating.

The DAHR site is mentioned in the first parts of this thread, but their newish ebooks page has some rare gems, with more soon to come. For example: Rust's 'British Music Hall on Record' has let me cross it off my 'to be scanned' list, and if you want a very extensive list of series prefixes for the major labels, Paul Vernon's 'Ethnic and Vernacular Music, 1898-1960 is very comprehensive.

David Giovannoni has recently created a new website https://i78s.org/ which contains over 46,000 early recordings 1890s-1930s, mainly from USA sources and on cylinders as well as 78rpms. Its free, but you will have to set up an account to access the recordings. I think you will be surprised by the quality of the cylinder recordings compared to the more common 78rpm records.

David was responsible for discovering, and transfering to audio for the first time, the earliest known recordings from the 1850s made in Paris by Leon Scott de Martinville on lampblack-sheets.

Handy! I bought that Rust book not long ago and was going to scan it too... saves me some time. Thanks.

A German site with perhaps an overabundance of information:

http://www.musiktiteldb.de/

In particular, this page with links to full and partial discographies for thousands of labels could prove useful.
