Emily,

Three recent works; I suspect you may have these but maybe others haven't seen them.

Good luck on your project,

Tyra Grant

Emily-

I have yet to see a survey but if you want a more 
complete list of attributes of deteriorated discs, try CCI's Technical Bulletin 
#27 "Remedies for Deteriorated or Damaged Modern Information 
Carriers."

When and if you find any such assessment, would you please 
share with PADG? I think this would be of great interest/use to us 
all.

Good luck!
Best,
Tara
