September 24 - Transcribe your audiotapes

September 24 - Dust off those audiotapes of oral history interviews or your now-grown toddler singing nursery rhymes. Transcribe them or convert them to digital files with a utility such as Digital Media Converter <www.deskshare.com/dmc.aspx>.

It's always good to update or modernize your research. I had stuff on old zip tapes that I am unable to access. Every few years I do a little more research to see if I can get my new computer equipment to talk to my old computer equipment. We need to make sure they don't become obsolete and lose valuable research or sources.
