I am working with a small manuscripts collection in Flagstaff, Arizona. They hold about 60 to 70 open reel tapes and about double that number of cassette tapes ranging in age from about 5 years old to more than 20 years old. For the most part these are field tapes made by two or three anthopologists of oral history and/or music of Asian, Hawaiian and Native American dance. As part of a small grant we have some money to preserve these tapes. I know that the standard is to produce an analog master on a 10" open reel. Are most companies now advising that there be a digital (CD-R) use copy? What are the charges for such copying? I am not on the list so please reply to me directly at carino@xxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you.
