LSD Handling of VHS Tapes

Post date: Jul 14, 2021 4:2:32 PM

Please see the reminder below from James Steffen regarding VHS tapes. I'm also including the Operations and Access Team, so they can be aware of this request.

As a reminder, please ask LSD staff not to sensitize/desensitize VHS tapes, since the magnets used for this will erase the tapes. As I am rehousing tapes for transfer to the Library Service Center, I am putting notices on the front of the cases not to sensitize/desensitize them, to keep them away from magnets and heat, etc.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
