Sound and video recordings

• Phonodiscs. If the storage boxes are badly damaged, transfer the discs, up to five at a time, to milk crates. Pad the bottoms of the crates with ethafoam and interleave every 25 records with ethafoam to absorb shocks. Always support the discs vertically and hold the discs by their edges. Avoid shocks and jolts during transport.

• Sound and videotapes. Pack the tapes vertically into egg crates or cardboard cartons. Do not put excessive weight on the sides of the reels or cassettes.
