Excerpt from Preservation and Storage of Sound Recordings: A Study Supported by a Grant From the Rockefeller Foundation
The results of this project are summarized in this report. We believe this to be the first report which attempts to describe existing knowledge on the subject, showing the results of the various tests carried out by the experimentation under the grant, and, equally important, the need for continued work in this field. The report con tains information which will be of i great use to the Library of Congress in its efforts to preserve its large collection of sound recordings and, we hope, of equal usefulness to the other libraries of this country and other countries as well.
