WELCOME!
The purpose of this site is to raise awareness to archive
the audio, video recordings and pictures that contain
your family history.
Of prime importance is everything on magnetic media.
Such as; audio cassettes, reel-to-reel tapes, digital audio on magnetic media,
and all of your video tapes. The fact is, that they are deteriorating over time and
some of them may not be playable now.
Not only is the magnetic media degrading, but the equipment and expertise
needed to retrieve those aging recordings is becoming difficult to find.
Still and moving pictures on photographic film (including negatives) can last
considerably longer than your magnetic media when properly stored.
However, they should be inspected periodically and eventually migrated to the
digital realm as well.
Some people will find old media that has been stored for years that may have
family history on it and not know how to play it safely or not be able to play it.
Please visit my Links page to find a vendor that is close to you or check out the
articles section of this website for more information.
In the Articles pages, I write more in-depth about records and audio tapes.
There is information about managing your analog audio collection plus other
informative stuff. For example, there are some articles about digital file formats.
Others about electronics or how to pack your valuable records for shipment.
I have put together some simple glossaries that are specific to records, tapes,
the digital domain, and some general terminology.
Although this site is copyrighted, you are welcome to any information that is
available here if you contact me. If you contact me, the information will be
delivered as an email attachment in one of several file formats.
The file format is your choice.
I write articles based on my experiences and reader feedback.
The Articles, Glossaries and Links pages are always changing so, stop by once
in awhile or send me an E-mail with some suggestions.
The Links page is designed to help you with disaster recovery, find a vendor,
learn more about audio, archival and restoration. There are also links to
products and services at the end of many of the articles.
No income is derived from any of the links to vendors.
There is no paid advertising and no annoying banners that
you have to click on to get rid of on any of the pages here.
