July 1946, Dr. David P. Boder arrived in Paris to begin collecting what would be the first large-scale interviews with displaced peoples and Holocaust survivors across Europe. He recorded these to the now obsolete media format of metal wire. This is how we
recovered the recordings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">– <b><i>Degralescence: Dealing with the Magnetic Media Crisis</i>.</b> <b>Tim Lanza</b>, lead, Audiovisual Preservation & Digitization; <b>Sarah Hartzell</b>, specialist, Audiovisual Preservation & Digitization; <b>Amy McCory</b>,

State University Libraries</span></a>. “Degralescence” describes the crisis facing the preservation of and access to content held on magnetic media carriers due to the twin threat of the physical degradation of magnetic tape and the growing obsolescence of
playback equipment, along with parts and techs to keep these decks working. We hope to provide an overview of the issues, along with some solutions and resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

One format in particular, a collection of large transcription discs, proved to be one of our most interesting experiences finding a vendor and sharing these historic recordings on our <a href="https://www.summitmemory.org/"><span style="color:black">Summit
