Blueprint Special Aids Conservation

Dan Ruggiero from Rutgers Oral History Archives emailed this comment:

I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how helpful this segment was.

Just a few days ago I was contacted by someone with a record from World War II. It was a recording of "Your man in the Service" series. The recording had her fathers voice on it.

The record was recently damaged during a move and the owner wanted to have it conserved or repaired.

Having seen your show I was able to direct her towards the Library of Congress's Audio/ Visual Conservation department. They have since been in communication.

Thank you for airing such interesting and relevant subject matter. Please keep up the good work.
