Re: [ARSCLIST] "Men of HiFi" Harry Maynard tapes
Andy, would this then be publicly available, in a reasonable fidelity format? Surely "Men of Hifi"
should not be unavailable except in some awful LO-fi format! ;)

We do not have any of these programs in our collection and would
certainly welcome any that aired over WNYC.
Thanks.

I urge you to contact the Archivist at WNYC to see if they have copies
of their shows, and if they want the others.
Also, the RHA at NYPL may want them.
(I've send a copy to each - see address info)
Seems like it would be best if an institution would preserve them IMO.
Best wishes, Thomas.

Hello Historians!
In my Christmas card this year from Natalie and Harry Maynard, Natalie
asks if I would know what to do with Harry's "Men of HiFi" radio show
tapes.
Harry is getting on in years and Natalie (who is younger though I
don't know by how much) is taking good care of him. I just got off the
phone with her.
She hasn't yet dug them all out, so we don't know how many there are.
Her first guess was 30-40, but I think it might be more. These were
shortish segments on the ABC Radio Network and also longer shows (I
was on one!) on WNYC. This is from the early-mid 1970s time frame (at
least my show was).
I suspect the format is open reel, but I don't even know that with
100% certainty.
Whoever wants this collection will need to get it from Westport CT, as
I don't think either of them would want to pack and ship it (I could
be wrong). I could possibly do that or arrange to have it done.
I would suggest digitizing the tapes upon acquisition -- I could of
course do that <shameless plug>, but there are no strings related to
my doing that attached.
I don't know about the copyright ownership of these recordings so I
don't know if they could be redistributed. I could perhaps find out if
that was important to the institution who might be interested in
receiving these.
Cheers,
Richard
