Abstract
Abstract The bulk of recorded radio content prior to the introduction of magnetic tape in the late 1940s was made on lacquer transcription discs. These discs have proven highly unstable and are considered a top preservation priority in radio archives. While preservation reformatting via mechanical playback is ideal, when it comes to damaged or deteriorating discs, the risk of losing content and the amount of labor needed to perform one-to-one transfers is high. As an alternative, several optical scanning technologies have been developed. This article offers a comparative study of four existing optical transfer systems for discs: IRENE, Saphir, VisualAudio, and Endpoint Audio.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Archival Organization is an international journal encompassing all aspects of the arrangement, description, and provision of access to all forms of archival materials. Articles on processing techniques and procedures, preparation of finding aids, and cataloging of archival and manuscript collections in accordance with MARC, AACR2, and other rules, standards, and cataloging conventions are only part of what you"ll find in this refereed/peer-reviewed publication. The journal places emphasis on emerging technologies, applications, and standards that range from Encoded Archival Description (EAD) and methods of organizing archival collections for access on the World Wide Web to issues connected with the digitization and display of archival materials.
