project idea (possibly using AI): record a take of songs from old sheet music books
Starting with something like the Grange book of sheet music below and record them ... Apparently the music can get to midi via Play Score 2, and other programs can could sing the lyrics.
or better yet, if anyone wants to perform the songs and upload them to the archive, you could link it into a review of the book.

Do you know people that would be up for this, maybe as a contest?
we could have prizes, we could have in-person concerts with multiple groups, we could generate lots of open/free music.
We would bring 100 year old music to a new audiences. We might be a bunch of people singing.
I would really like to hear shape-note singing like they do at Bread and Puppet.

@brewsterkahle that's what we do, early music performers, playing (analogically) music from medieval and renaissance manuscripts and prints :-)
Check imslp/Petrucci if you want other material.
