How do i care for my library\s audiotape or videotape collection?
Videotape has a short lifespan. However, good care and handling can extend its lifespan considerably. Storing it in a clean, controlled environment will slow down chemical deterioration. For long-term storage, the optimum environment is 45°-50° F and 25-30% RH, with a maximum fluctuation of ±2° and ±5% RH. Do not store videotapes below 45°F. When storing at low temperatures, be sure to acclimate the materials to room temperature before playing them back.
