[rfu-automation] Fwd: [grc] Association for Recorded Sound Collections

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

FYI - this may be of interest to some WRFU members. I am considering  
joining as an individual. There's also useful material available on  
their website - including tips on collection maintenance and  
preservation within the regular newsletters.
