[AV Media Matters] Audio query
One of our branches is proposing to change its retention period of audio
tapes from 5 years to 20. These tapes are not intended for archival
disposition.
I would be interested in hearing of best practices list members either
employ or have identified for 20 year reliability.
For example, recommendations for transfer interval times, brand/format of
recording stock, etc. I am not confident that a cool and dry storage
environment will be guaranteed.
Any and all input, on or off list, will be much appreciated!
Cheryl.
