One of the benefits of membership in the Society is the privilege of borrowing a tape for personal listening.  Most Society meetings since 1980 have been tape-recorded.

Members may borrow tapes for one month. If you will be attending a regular monthly meeting, tapes are available for sign-out and return there. If not, write to FxGS, Tape Library, PO Box 2290, Merrifield, VA 22116-2290, or call Chuck Mason at (703) 569-3469 or e-mail him at Chuck MasonThere will be a charge for postage in case of mailing.

Those tapes marked with an asterisk have marginal sound quality, but with some effort, at least part of the lecture should be understandable. Please note that information on some of the tapes, especially from the earlier years, may be out of date.

NOTE: These are provided for member listening only. Do Not Copy. Speakers retain full copyright protection.

This list is as of May, 2004.  Most subsequent programs have been taped as well.  You may check the program list for titles.
