Formats
This site is arranged in a hierarchy that permits drilling down to find out more about a particular type of media record. Some paths are deeper than others — see “formats & resources” listing at the right. The top-level categories are based on the fundamental means of recording:
Magnetic (tapes, films, wires, disks, belts)
Magneto-Optical (disks, Minidiscs)
Mechanical (cylinder, disk, and belt recordings; automated instruments)
Optical (optical discs, film)
Resources are listed in the sidebar at the right as are the groupings of formats.
