I do continue to add and maintain both VHS and DVD items in our collection, although I buy anything new on DVD unless only available on VHS.
I have applied for a grant to transfer some older materials from VHS to DVD and hadn't considered copyright issues. If we get the grant, my intention is to buy any DVD of an older film that is available. But if it is not available to purchase on DVD, then I would transfer it from VHS onto DVD. I would anticipate maintaining both forms, VHS and DVD in the collection, at least for now. I would appreciate it if you could share any answers you receive regarding copyright issues. Thanks.
