Hello, all! We have a variant of this shipping problem, and maybe the collective wisdom of this esteemed group can give us some suggestions. We may soon (in the next month or two) be needing to move a couple of hundred 78s from the home of a collector in the DC area up to our institution in central NJ. We will NOT be sending them by mail or parcel shipping company, but moving them in our own van, where the packing, loading, driving, unloading, and unpacking will be done by museum and archives staff or by volunteers under our direct supervision (or perhaps acting under our detailed instructions - in the case of the packing step down in DC). The video, etc. that have already been discussed are great, and we will definitely use some variant of that procedure for the rarest items in the collection, but it seems a bit impractical to do it for every single disc... Or is that really the best way to go? Any other hints or things to watch out for? Thanks in advance!
