Thanks for this reply Dennis and this question Jeanne. This is slightly outside the scope of your question, but I am in a similar situation with some unique ethnographic 8mm and Super8 films. About 16-20 of them each documenting different performances of music groups. They certainly fit

Actually... we had the whole set of JVC World Anthology of Music Dance, as well as the Smithsonian Folksways set, on VHS, and even though the website doesn't indicate it, they do have DVD(-R)s now. We've had to order replacements a LOT over the past 3-4 years, as the VHS tapes seem to be
