[PADG:1382] Re: Polypropylene Storage Boxes for Video



Winston:

You might do well to post this question to the AMIA (Association of Motion Picture Archivists) listserve.  See: http://www.amianet.org/  and click on "AMIA-L LIST SERV."  Their archive of postings from Nov. 1999 on is available via COOL.  Previous archived messages are only available through the AMIA site.

Also check with IPI http://www.rit.edu/~661www1/

We're preparing to purchase new boxes for some of our videotapes. The
librarian with responsibility for the collection has asked if polypropylene
boxes will react with the chemicals in videotape boxes made from other
plastics. I've not heard of it happening, nor did a quick search of CoOL
turn up any reports, but I wanted to check with you all before I said that
it wouldn't happen. Your thoughts and experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Winston
