The term "discography" was popularized in the [[1930s in music|1930s]] by collectors of [[jazz]] [[Record (music)|records]], i.e. 'to study and write about the [[Compact disc|discs of music]]'. Jazz fans did research and self-published discographies about when jazz records were made and what musicians were on the records, as record companies did not commonly include that information on or with the records at that time. Two early jazz discographies were ''Rhythm on Record'' by [[Hilton Schleman]] and ''Hot Discography'' by [[Charles Delaunay]].<ref name=pop/><ref>John Shepard, et al.
