It became too cumbersome to try and keep links to organizations and individuals who can undertake digitization of various formats within this information resource. A complete update of that format-to-restoration provider finder has been created as a stand-alone Google Sheet that allows the administrators to update it and the users to easily drill down by format.
The easy-to-use link is http://bit.ly/avfxfer
Click the “Continue to destination” button to bypass the 10-second delay.
Note that the format tabs are along the bottom and sometimes easy to miss.
The direct link to the read-only version of the Google Sheet is here
