I have gradually replaced many of the laserdisks available in DVD. We received some special funding for this when laserdisk players ceased to be delivered. We gifted replaced laserdisks and two players to NU’s Center for Interdisciplinary Studies. Our studio houses the Video Encyclopedia of the Twentieth Century, which has a goldmine of footage for educational projects.
Remaining laserdisks are in compact storage for easy retrieval, for the time being. Debra H.
