[SOA] storing dictating machine disks

[Barb Sedlock]

I found two envelopes of magnetic disks when sorting administration's
papers that were apparently used in a dictation machine in late
70s/early 80s.   They are just naked discs slipped into a paper
envelope, there is no permanent covering to the magnetic disks.  We
don't have the machine to play them, and when I contacted the music
library at BGSU, who helped us out with another old fashioned audio
format (R-T-R tape), they didn't have any way of playing them either.

Is there any known danger to storing magnetic disks in a file of
administrative papers?  I had planned to enclose the disks in a fold
of acid-free paper so they wouldn't touch any of the other documents.
Thanks,
Barb Sedlock
