If it were me, I'd be a lot more concerned with preserving tapes from the LP era and put that ahead of worrying about metal mothers from the 78 era. A friend of mine did a huge number of transfers from safety transcription acetates for them a few years back so that area might also be pretty well covered even if they aren't issuing any of it yet.
