Dear Friends,

I am hoping someone on the list can recommend a reputable company that  
is in the business of updating media to digital files from older  
technologies such as cassette tapes.

I have recently discovered in our collection an important oral history  
that was
originally recorded in 1951, and transferred to a cassette tape in  
1989.  As far as I know, the cassette is now the only copy, and I am  
reluctant even to listen to it, fearing that the tape may now be  
brittle and snap in the process.

So, I am hoping to find a company that has a good reputation of dealing with
temperamental media to make copies that can be used by researchers in  
our archives in the future.

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
