Audio recordings of the 1968 General Assembly in Calgary.
Note (2015 Feb 11): The tape reels have been stored at the RASC's national office for the decades since they were recorded. Most of the tapes were digitized by Walter MacDonald using a 1960s vintage Sony player (3¾ and 7½ IPS). The PZT and Banquet tapes (1 7/8 and 15/16 IPS) were digitized by Mike Earl using a Cipher I player. Some digital enhancement was done as needed to improve the sound quality. —WM
