Re: arsclist VHS and S-VHS Tapes

[Brian Levy <xernaut@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Peter,

What about the possibility, as suggested to me by someone working at one of 
the places I purchase  blank CD-R media for our Indian language 
preservation projects here in Oklahoma, of using S-VHS to store analog 
back-ups to all our CD-R's in our archive, just in case the digital 
strategy fails?  Since quarter inch reel is expensive, especially for a 
smaller archive with little funding, like ours, might'nt this be a smart 
choice?

               Thanks for your posting,

                          Brian Levy
