Hi there all you folks with audio and video tapes in your collections, I am looking for benchmarking information for video and audio tape collections (which includes oral histories). Any information on the folowing would be much appreciated: Cost of duplication ( to include a variety of formats if possible - including VHS, ¾" U-matic, Betacam, DVCAM, and DVD).

To include prices for an assortment of uses, documentaries, feature films, TV shows, education, etc. Preservation fees Offsite removal fees. Research fees. Any other relevant charges.
