Steve -- Everybody else on this list are ABSOLUTELY SURE that these
artifacts DO qualify as records. It should have gone without saying
that an archive described at the very beginning of the article as being
for recordings going back to 1950 would consist mainly of microgroove
records.

Since many people on this list have had their collections discussed in
the print media, it is obvious that print-media ARE occasionally
interested in doing articles about collections of pre-microgroove
recordings, but they are also interested in the collection's owner being
lucid and avoiding nonsensical statements.
