The EAA’s Timeless Voices Programme is based on video tapping new material. In an email Adam Smith, Museum Director at the EAA’s AirVenture Museum, told me “our primary goal is to collect and preserve video taped oral histories.”

LAFAS on the other hand is concerned primarily with preserving audio material already recorded.

Having spoken to the librarian at the EAA’s AirVenture Museum, they told me they have an small uncatalogued collection of audio material in its basement, the librarian also told me that they didn’t have the time or manpower to organise and catalogue the material. One tape that did have a label on referred to interviews with participants in the Cleveland Air Races!
