In general, we do not acquire VCDs, PAL items, or DVDs encoded for other regions. At this time, we do not collect Blu-Ray or other high-definition DVD formats.

We primarily collect regular DVDs (NTSC, Region 1 or region-free) and VHS tapes (NTSC). We purchase some items with public performance rights. In addition, we collect video documentation of events held at Otis, including the Fine Arts lecture series, the Senior Fashion shows, and commencements.įactors that affect acquisition include availability, vendor, and price.
