[78-L] 48-Hour Extension for Sound Recording Collections Survey

[Kristjan Saag]

Hi, William,
I think it's an important job you're doing in a time when archives are 
being shut down, disbanded or facing reduced personnel, budgets etc.
But why don't you tell us more about the practical part of your 
interest: the Audio Preservation Fund? I guess many US collectors on 
this list would welcome future assistance...
