Its the little things
I have been rummaging around in the library's junk room for the past couple of days, an area that is officially known as the "Louisiana Lockup". The room is one of the old library stack levels from the 1936 building. At any rate I have been rummaging with intent. That intent was to find historical materials to include in the archives. So far I have found 2 different obsolete video formats with tapes of student and faculty activites that the alumni office should worship me for finding. The gem thus far is a 1955 audio tape of Dean Hebert speaking on Legal Ethics. I am very curious about this since I have been doing alot of work on his Nuremberg files but I have no idea what the man sounded like.
I will say this. As much of a technogeek as I am, I can still read a 400 year old book but I can not play or listen to 50 year old audio tapes or 30 year old videos.

Which will make the task of digitizing both and making them web-available all the more sweet, no? I have a nice casette deck if the tape is in the form of a casette. What format is the video in? Old 1/4inch?
