A detailed description of the TV broadcasts included in the set were mounted on the Chair's SEAM web site. No institution appears to be very interested in these materials. The Chair expresses a certain regret at this. I have had a chance to discuss the matter and we would like to come back to you, or to the Center for Research Libraries, to ask for precise details about what you, and then, envision. We have no idea at present how they deal with materials in CD form.
Similar considerations arise with the transcriptions.
As these are on computer disk, it is very easy to copy and very hard to prevent such copying. Obviously we are concerned to know these details as part of a broader understanding of the circumstances under which the materials would be held and used. Another issue which we obviously have to bear in mind is the sale price of this set. If depositing one set in the Center forestalls the likelihood of further sales to the US, then that would present us with understandable difficulties. I was slightly surprised to hear your colleagues thought it expensive.
