So cool! Mike, would you be willing to scan and share (or even
update and republish) your dissertation?

See http://www.arsc-audio.org/publications.html and order a copy of
Pickett, A.G., and M.M. Lemcoe. Preservation and Storage of Sound
Recordings (74 pp., paper.) 1991 reprint of this standard-setting
Library of Congress booklet originally published in 1959.
There have been advances since 1959, of course, and different
chemistry is available today, but Pickett and Lemcoe are still an
excellent starting point.
