Re: [ARSCLIST] Question about Reel to Reel preservation

[George Strawley <strawley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are a few of the many starting points this newbie found helpful:

1.) IASA Guidelines on the Production and Preservation of Digital Audio
Objects: Can order from http://www.iasa-web.org/

2.) Audio Archiving Resources page -- links to all sorts of information:
http://www.audioarchiving.net/

3.) The Care and Handling of Recorded Sound Materials:
http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byauth/st-laurent/care.html

You may also wish to check through the archives to this list for similar
threads to this one.

Good luck.
