We are interested in getting information concerning magnetic tape
libraries in the Washington, D. C. area, and the number of the
tapes held in such libraries.
Will you assist us insofar as your agency is concerned? Our first
interest is to have known the physical location of the tapes, the
organizational location of the library, the name of the "librarian,"
the number of reels in the library, and those over five years old.
To gather this data we are enclosing GSA Form 7025, which should be
filled out for each tape library.
We are next interested in assisting agencies in determining what
information now recorded on magnetic tapes warrants permanent
retention. As a start toward that end we are enclosing GSA Form
7036. This form asks for a description of record content of all archival
tapes, nature and amount of usage, a copy of the source data imput,
where the information may be duplicated, and whether the permanence
of the information has been officially established.
If an analyst from our office can be of assistance in this effort,
please do not hesitate to call us. Several copies of both forms are
enclosed. If you need more they are available on request.
