All,

Last week I posted about our massive project in digitizing a VHS collection, one of the largest VHS collections in the United States consisting of 20,000+ VHS tapes recorded from 1987-2014.

Since that post, we received enough donations to acquire 2 additional VHS recorders and hard drives to preserve the tapes. Once that money is deposited, we will have a total of 5 recording decks running! This is major for speeding up the project!

THANK YOU SUPPORTERS! YOUR DONATIONS MEAN A LOT TO THIS PROJECT AND YOU WILL GET RECOGNITION FOR BEING A PART OF THIS!

THE MORE DONATIONS RECEIVED, THE MORE WE CAN RECORD!

It will take about a month to actually receive the funds and once that happens and we purchase the recorders, we will have 5 recording decks running by January! This shaves the estimated 20-years of recording by a few years! (Yeah we know, it’s wild to think that time span for this), but the more we get, the more we can record!

All donations are used specifically for this project, and the more donations we get, the more we can record and provide, so please consider as each bit really does help!

Also a reminder that you can follow along and assist in labeling, viewing, identifying new things, etc. in our Discord
