If they are being toseed, I'd love to hear them on the way to the bin! 
I work wirh Bluegrass today the way you do with opera, and could at the 
very least find out about who they are - I work with several players 
who did play with Bill Monroe and could find a good home for them - 
though I do not knwo of a repository orr archivist, never having seen 
tapes older than my own from KPFA in the same era... 74-82.

Thanks,
