Hello, I'm hoping
that one of these email addresses is still valid. I saw your workshop ad
on the web (3 years old). I'm the director of a small museum which houses
cylinder records. We have them currently stored in acid free
containers. My co-worker wants to create a storage system which includes
putting the cylinders in the old cylinder cases - we have a number of those
also. The felt-like linings have spotty discoloration that look like
mold. (Many of the records are also moldy.) I am reluctant to do
this, but agree with him that the records are more protected in the coverings
designed for them. How do you store your collection, and what do you
suggest for us?
Also, how can we
determine of any of our recordings are rare - as opposed to very
common?
We have questions
about cleaning and preserving also.
Can you advise
us?
Thanks,
Cathy Evans,
Director
