Classical Archives is a large classical music commercial website on the Internet.

Suscribers pay a fee of 25 dollars a year for unlimited access. They are allowed to access or download 1,000 files per month or 100 files per day of any kind.

The classical archives began in 1994 by Pierre R. Schwob, in a then rather obscure world wide web.
