The Royal Academy archives contains a number of audio recordings. These are
all on standard compact cassettes, a format I have never been entirely
comfortable with; indeed many are showing their age. This year it should be
possible to copy these recordings on to a medium of my choice.
The primary purpose is to ensure ongoing preservation. However, the
Academy's collections are to be increasingly accessible on-line. I am very
keen that my audio holdings should be in a format that facilitates their
inclusion in an on-line resource.
DAT, CD-ROM, WORM, DVD, MINI-DVD, hard disk? What? How?
Thank you all for your attention,
mark
