The Encyclopedic Discography of Victor Recordings (EDVR) is an index to master recordings (matrixes) and published discs made by the Victor Talking Machine Company beginning in 1900.

The database is edited by a team of researchers based at the University of California, Santa Barbara Libraries and currently includes master recordings made by Victor in the United States. The database includes trial recordings of new artists and sessions from which no discs were issued.

Approximately 1,000 new master recordings are added to the database monthly and the database will eventually extend to the end of the 78rpm era in the early-1950s.
