I know Jim
Wheeler very well – and while I am sure he said what you wrote here- I seriously
doubt that it was intended to be used as an endorsement of your product and I seriously
doubt that he would “endorse” a product like this until he had seen
it thoroughly tested and worked with it for some time. The product may be great
– I do not know – but quoting him like this may give a false
impression.

Subject: RE : CD Rom Preservation
Importance: High
Dear
Our company launched last December an
archival CD case to replace the highly breakable Jewel case and give archivists
a tool to protect properly CDs. I am copying below a quote from the AMIA-List
about our CD case:
" ... Stildesign had a booth at
AMIA-Austin. I was impressed by their archival CD/DVD case. The main problem
with most CD/DVD cases is the high pressure exerted on the center hub area.
Stildesign has eliminated that problem by a very clever "punchout"
that does not apply pressure on the disc. Most CD/DVD cases grasp the hub of
the disc and eventually the disc breaks or comes apart.
In my opinion. the Stildesigned case applies
very little force on the disc. This is critical for extending the life of the
disc. Many of the case designs (including BlockBuster) put high pressure on the
hub and that usually results in failure.
I recommend obtaining more information as well
as an actual disc case by going to: www.stildesign.com

& Restoration Services "
If you wish a FREE sample of the case, please
contact me off list.

Objet : CD Rom PreservationI am currently working on a collection that has CD Roms in it. They are in various cases (cardboard, plastic). I have a fairly simple question (I think). Is it preferable to keep the media inside the case it comes in or should I take them out and put them into CD sleeves? Will the acids in the cardboard and anything else negatively affect the integrity of the media?
Also, are there good white papers on this subject? A posting from the Archives & Archivists LISTSERV List sponsored by the Society of American Archivists, www.archivists.org.
