Steven, are you volunteering to sponsor the needed funding to
produce usable tapes we can archive? That would be helpful, but
we probably need to define what our objectives are and analyze
how we should meet it first. Archiving is a whole lot easier than
producing. And our experience with video tapes is we haven't had
a lot of demand for tracking and lending.

One thought occurs - if we have decent quality audio records, it
might be possible to use voice recognition to convert them to text
and produce transcripts. That might provide a more useful record
than the rew audio, and certainly would be much more compact.
Need a little market analysis to figure out what would be useful to
the community.

Our experience with home-made video tapes is that the resulting
poor quality tapes aren't very useful. If we want to do it we should
consider how we want to use the audio and obtain equipment
sufficient to meet that need.
