Re: [ARSCLIST] 1/4" audio tape digitizing

Lou, et al -

There has got to be tons of material like this. I know of a few lodes of 
taped material here in San Diego of varying significance. I recall living 
in the S.F. Bay Area in the '60s when KPFA and also the UC radio station 
participated in something called the National Tape Network (NTN). There was 
at that time something called "The World Ear Project" where people sent in 
their own tapes of everything - mostly ambient sounds from various 
locations. I submitted quite a few tapes myself, and I know a friend of 
mine sent tapes recorded on the streets during the student protests in 
1964. I'm trying to work out an approach for my own small collection of 
tapes and those of some friends. It is overwhelming - triage to prioritize 
what gets dealt with, trying to budget time and cash resources, working out 
storage, and for anything of significance - how to approach providing some 
kind of access.
