Kia Ora I would like to know if any archive, university or facility dealing with analogue tape and laquer discs, including vinyl, have ever done a study related to the different types of mould/mold that can affect this media. For instance, is there a particular type of mould/mold that is more likely to affect AMPEX 456 as opposed to AGFA PEM 469 or EMITAPE 4? Or, is it safe to assume that the mould/mold is the same even if it's current state may be dormant? I already have a paper written by Jim Thurn from the Kilgarlin Center at the University of Texas in Austin called "Research on Methods to Remove Mold from Cellulose Acetate Audiotape" which I have found extremely useful. Also, would anyone have Jim's email addy? Thanks in advance.
