Thanks Gary, These are U-matic tapes, total of 5. Tech requirements would be high bit rate MPEG-2 (exact specs could be discusssed if needed) ... so it would be archived/playable on DVD. It would be nice if there was a university or college we could partner with to do this -- or a commercial outfit from anywhere USA.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
