No part of this issue may be reproduced in any form,.by print, photoprint, microfilm or any other means without written permission from the pub11sher. Printed in Jienna, Austria. -1- EDITORIAL In this issue are three interesting papers from last year's Budapest Conference. The subjects concern the Hungarian Radio archives; I particularly call your attention to Mr. Szabo's con tribution which describes a unique solution that was found for the replacement of sound record ings destroyed during war. Additionally two non-conference papers were solicited. One is about the Federal Cylinder Project which I feel is a landmark in U.S. sound archivism, as well as a noteworthy example of cooperative effort on the part of several agencies. The other is an article which continues some of the ideas already set forth in two different PHONOGRAPHIC articles, by Bernard Broere and Rolf Schuursma, respectively. I join Mr. Hagen in encouraging the readership to share their own opinions on the subject. I want to welcome Joel Gardner to the Editorial Board as Reviews and Recent Publications Editor. You may remember Joel 's interesting presentation at the Lisbon meeting on the subject of the use of videotape in the oral history interview; it was subsequently published in PHONOGRAPHIC no. 23 (April 1979). Joel 's first column is in this issue and he has written a brief intro duction which sets forth his own ideas on the column's development. I hope you will contact him about relevant bibliographic and discographic information. Last, but certainly not least, the Brussels program is presented. The executive Board joins me in inviting you to attend. See you in Brussels!
