Recording Media Archival Attributes (Magnetic).

Abstract

This study focuses on the long term (10-15 year) storage effects on magnetic recording media with emphasis on digital magnetic tape. Both the theoretical and experimental aspects are presented covering the primary magnetic, chemical, and mechanical considerations. Definite storage and handling procedures along with an optimum long term magnetic recording system are discussed. Conclusions are that long term storage is possible with magnetic tapes provided tight environmental controls are maintained and low acceleration rewinds are performed at a minimum interval of 3 1/2 years.
