Re: [ARSCLIST] Preservation policy question
About keeping the 1/4 " tapes - I'm working on a project here in San Diego
where the tapes are the original medium for recording the live
performances. The Library of Congress advises me to definitely preserve
the tapes. The most information will be on the tapes, and there may be
better ways to extract that information at a later time. After
transferring the tapes to archival CD's the tapes will go to storage in
the UCLA archive facility. I guess the question would be, What is the
original medium from which the tapes were made and what is the status and
condition of that medium? Do the 1/4 " tapes become a redundant step in
the process of preservation?
