Vinyl records and blast freezer

[Jay Gaidmore <JGaidmore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

The Library of Virginia recently acquired a collection of sound recordings
from a local radio station dating from 1925.  This collection includes vinyl
records (as large as 18"), cassettes, and reel to reel tapes.

Apparently, the collection is infested with bugs and we are wondering if
using a blast freezer to kill the bugs is a safe method.

Thanks in advance,  Jay
