Libraries routinely archive all kinds of materials, even including
textbooks.  For researchers interested in working on the pedagogical
bases of their discipline, having this kind of archive is essential.
Of course, language learning has involved technology in significant
ways for much longer than most disciplines.  Is there an archive of
foreign language learning materials that incorporate (older)
technologies, along with the machines to access them?  If not, I wonder
if one of the National Foreign Language Research Centers would be
interested in taking this on as a project?  The reason I ask is one of
my colleagues has some 78 records that would certainly be interesting
for research at some point in the future and no where to donate them.

Best to all, Mike Ledgerwood
