I found communities that will take off air TV #videocassette recordings with commercials. They also love newscasts, PBS pledge drives, you name it as long as it was recorded off air.
Please feel free to forward this post to others who might be interested. Let's keep these old #VHS tapes (and #Betamax) tapes circulating. Links below
1. Send me a direct message. I collect and digitize science fiction / fantasy convention footage and fan videos or song tapes
https://fanlore.org/wiki/Songtape_Collection
2. Contact Uncommon Ephemera who digitizes video cassettes and posts them to the #InternetArchive (his main focus is preserving educational video #FilmStrips, but he also digitizes video cassettes)
3. Join this Facebook group, these individuals are collectors not digitizers but they're thrilled to receive donations
Please promote - help preserve educational filmstrips that no one else in the world is archiving. Link to video about the project. If you cannot donate, please share.
