The project consists of barcoding, packing, transporting, digitizing and destroying the audio tapes after the digitalization.

— the reels are mostly 10” (app. 80 %) and 7” (app. 20 %). A small amount is 5” (<5 %),

— each tape is held in a cardboard box. Each box may also hold paper describing the contents of the tape, small booklets, and other audio formats than a ¼" audio tape,

— the speeds of the recordings are 15” and 7½”. A small sub-collection may run at lower speed,

— overall, the tapes are in good condition and recordings are of broadcast quality done by professional technicians,
