These are the kind of tapes that I love to collect and compile. If they
haven't already been archived by the ACM then folks like us certainly need
to do so.
I have a lot of old audio and video tapes (and other media) waiting to be
archived as soon as I get to that particular point in my overall project.
I have a couple hundred videos (in VHS and 3/4" format), hundreds of
slides, and a few dozen audio tapes (so far). I also have a fair number
of photographs, but I'm definitely lacking in that department (the
Computer History Museum has thousands).
Notwithstanding copyright issues, I plan to make copies available for
research, just as I do with the other stuff in my archive.
Don't expect anything anytime soon, however. There's still a lot of work
to do. But it is being done.
