Tapes and Tapes (and Tapes)

My father had a reel-to-reel recorder that he used in the 1950s and '60s to tape music and family milestones. Here's a photo of his work in the basement. Some of these reels are labeled and some are not. Wilson and I have started to make digital archives of them, but we don't have enough time to do it properly. I am not sure anybody has the time or interest to listen to them anyway. This has caused me to think more carefully about how I document my own life.
