You might check out a directory like the Variety 411 directory for vendors of post-production services: Variety Post-Production Directory Here is a listing of members of the Association of Cinema and Video Laboratories (ACVL), some of whom offer optical sound recording services: ACVL Member List Although a polyester B&W optical sound negative or print might be the most archival media, it probably isn't the best choice for this application. In addition to carefully storing your analog original recordings, making multiple CD-R digital copies would be a good option: Kodak CD-R Digital Audio Gold Kodak CD-R Ultima ------------------ John P.

I should have added that the reason I suggested records was I thought it was the only thing would last the longest (I was thinking of hundreds of years.) Of course, you'll need to keep a record player,too!There was an article about 10 years ago about the magnetic storage at NASA. In the late 1960's and early 70's, NASA sent up spacecraft with instruments to measure stuff like solar wind, sunspot activity, upper atmospheric contitions, etc. The data from the spacecrafts were recorded onto a variety of magnetic media, but mostly on 9-track reels, for as long as each particular project was active (or until the spacecraft died.) Most of those tapes (only 25 years later) had started to deteriorate, and NASA was hoping someone would have a use for the data and recover it before they are unreadable. I can't exactly remember now, but I thought they had something like 20,000 reels. Although, I'm sure modern magnetic tape is better made.
