Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Transfer of audio tapes to digital files and other
permanent media

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.
