Letters to the Editor: I created a collection of more than 4,000 VHS tapes. Here’s how (and why)
- A reader describes assembling a personal archive of over 4,000 VHS tapes in 20 categories.
- The collection recreates a theater experience with cartoons and no commercials.
- The hobby began in the 1970s during the early days of home video.
- The collector used a high-cost VHS system to start recording family and classic films.
- The catalog spans family classics, musicals, war, sci-fi, horror, and westerns.
- The piece emphasizes VHS as a way to preserve cinema history against modern trends.
- The author cites nostalgia for a family-friendly era of moviegoing.
- The letter urges public support for preserving older media formats.
- The correspondence ties personal collecting to broader cultural memory.
