Andrea >What have people been doing with wonderful music collections that >are on 33 1/3 records? Depends. But a possible option is to contact: Alexander Hartov of Darmouth who is collecting and making an archive of these recordings. First you make yourself recordings of the records as you like then you contact Alex and tell him what you have and if he would like to take the vinyl records for his collection. His email is: alexander.hor...@dartmouth.edu
He wrote me the following: If you live in New England, he might even make a day of it and drive down to you and pick the material up. If you and he decide that shipping would be the best route he suggests that you use USPS and label the boxe(s) "Media Mail." as it is greatly discounted and usually ends up being the cheapest option. Packing LPs is not a problem as they are very resilient. On the other had, 78s are very fragile and break easilyand should be sandwiched between LPs and tied up in bundles, then packed in larger boxes with either styrofoam peanuts or crumpled newspaper making sure there are at least 10 LPs on each side of the 78s. Separate the 78s with LPs if they are not in albums themselves. Now, then, I promised him over a year ago (I'm so embarrassed) some LPs that I have already copied onto CDs. Seeing your email has put a fire under my butt to get a move on and send him what I have.
