The few who listen in are \"flies on the wall\" as decisions are made and history unfolds. This roundtable panel seeks to inform students, historians, audio technicians, and the academic community about these presidential tapes collections, how they were archivally processed and preserved, and how to conduct research using this audio material. As part of the roundtable presentations, the panelists from these Presidential Libraries will play several clips of the presidential recordings for the audience. They will describe how each collection of tapes is processed for public release and the problems encountered in reviewing the tapes. They will discuss all aspects of their projects, including: preserving and enhancing the sound quality of the tapes, devising an arrangement scheme that adheres to archival principles yet facilitates public access, describing the contents of each conversation so that users can locate information relevant to their research topic, reviewing each conversation for possible restriction, using technology to ease public access, and detailing the finding aids available for each collection. The archivists will detail the “ins and outs” of listening to the tapes and will also play examples of conversations that demonstrate their importance as a unique archival source. Archivists consider the record to be the tape itself. They believe it essential for users to listen to the tapes for themselves and arrive at their own conclusions as the conversations are often subject to different interpretations. The panelists hope, through this roundtable panel, to encourage historians and scholars to use these tapes for themselves as part of their research."]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Publisher"]},"value":{"en":["Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["Copyright Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}}],"summary":{"en":["In the past few years, a unique set of archival material has become available to historians and the public— the secretly recorded tapes from the presidencies of John F.
