Good sources for obscure educational videos? angielski

Hello. I am having trouble finding a video I own on VHS format. I want to get a digital copy, but it probably does not exist. I think there are rules against asking about particular titles, so I’ll just state the topic. It’s about skills used by guides for camping in the wilderness between north central US and Canada. Are there any places might have such videos?

Sharpiemarker,

Honestly, I’d check at your local library. A lot of them have inter-library loans, so they can search a network of libraries for the specific title you’re looking for.

in addition to ILL, they may also have a digitization setup for converting your VHS to digital.

Sharpiemarker,

Great suggestion!

You can name the title, that’s fine. The only thing you can’t do here is openly share links to that content (it must be encoded with base64).

When it comes to old media, especially from the early 2000’s and earlier, I start with Archive.org and YouTube.

Like /u/Sharpiemaker suggested, your library would also be a good spot to check. If you have a reference library in your system they are a goldmine for that sort of thing.

Alternatively, you can pick up a cheap capture card and record the tape to your PC.

MasterBuilder,

I have found a library that had equipment to transfer to DVD, however if the tape has copy protection it won’t work. I’ll find out. Plus, I can buy a DVD version - I found it in searches - but I already own this and don’t want to buy it again.
