Though initially intended for the consumer market\u2014as VHS would be later\u2014the videotapes and players are bulky and were expensive. Sony shifted its marketing to the educational and commercial sectors, where the format was widely used in the 1970s and 1980s. NLM holds thousands of training and informational U-Matics on a variety of topics including child development, mental health, surgical procedures, and Hansen\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p>Memory institutions are under time pressure to reformat these tapes in order to preserve the content and make it available for research. Like other forms of magnetic media, they are not terribly durable. The components of the tape break down, become dirty or sticky, and simply can\u2019t be played back reliably after a few decades. Paper made 500 years ago is much hardier, as is film stock from, say, the 1930s, if kept in the right temperature and humidity conditions. Fifty years from now you\u2019ll still be able to read Johannes de Ketham\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2018\/10\/11\/fifteenth-century-books-from-the-cradle-of-printing-in-the-west\/\"><em>Fasciculus Medicinae <\/em><\/a>printed in 1500, but 1983\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/nlmcatalog\/?term=8400703A\"><em>Nursing Care for Patients with AIDS<\/em><\/a> was already deteriorating when our preservation of it began.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Preserve It?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While no one would consult this content to actively treat a patient today, the material on NLM U-Matics is regularly examined by scholars, health care practitioners, documentary film producers, and others seeking to understand medical knowledge and practice from a historical perspective.

There was plenty of fear among the public as well as concern among health care providers who treated the sick. How risky was it? Could a housekeeper cleaning a hospital room get sick? Should a pregnant woman spend time with her recently-diagnosed brother?
