[HANASHIR:5854] Ancient music bank?

We have in our congregation an elderly man from Egypt who can beautifully sing
hundreds of ancient prayer melodies and trope. A congregant has suggested a
recording project to document these dying melodies. She is wondering if a
Jewish music bank or project to preserve such melodies from dwindling Jewish
communities already exists.
Thanks,
