Re: [ARSCLIST] Storage of audio CDs

["George G. Strawley" <strawley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all for hearing out my request. I didn't get the specific answer I was seeking on-list but some people did offer to look into the matter and reply to me off-list. I will share that info when it comes around if it is OK with the sender.

The debate on using Google as a repository was interesting, too. Just to let you know, we are planning to set up a repository for this project. That's in addition to the preservation and access CDs.


Thanks again,
