Steve -- Everybody else on this list are ABSOLUTELY SURE that these artifacts DO qualify as records. It should have gone without saying that an archive described at the very beginning of the article as being for recordings going back to 1950 would consist mainly of microgroove records. > I have often wondered if my half-vast shellac archive (c.55,060 78's) > might be of interest to some print-medium operation... Since many people on this list have had their collections discussed in the print media, it is obvious that print-media ARE occasionally interested in doing articles about collections of pre-microgroove recordings, but they are also interested in the collection's owner being lucid and avoiding nonsensical statements.
