Don’t toss that tape.
Just in time for Throwback Thursday, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and Councilman Ben Kallos will introduce legislation today to protect the city’s video archives — including footage on VHS and Betamax tapes.
“Those records would be preserved by the city in whatever format they would choose — my preference would be for digital, my preference would be for open-format,” Mr. Kallos told the Observer Wednesday.
The bill was originally penned by Ms. Brewer when she was in the Council, and it will be introduced on her behalf and by Mr. Kallos.
