The collection consists of eleven 1/2" by 2400 foot open reel magnetic Scotch Brand Video Tapes, Guardsman Series Color Capable Tape. The tapes were recorded in May, 1974, at the 3rd World Arts Workshop Festival. Also included is a registration form and calendar of events. Description of individual items below comes from what is written on the labels, not from actual viewing of the materials. Two tapes lack any description; it is possible that they are blank.
The video tapes are arranged in chronological order, with the two unidentified items at the end of the collection. In two cases the tapes cover multiple dates, and those tapes are filed by the later date.
The entirety of this collection is open and available for in-person research use. However, due to copyright restrictions these may not be reproduced for external use. Important: MASC does not have equipment which would allow viewing of these. This means that for them to be viewed, arrangements will have to be made well in advance to have these reformatted through an off-campus vendor.
