Physical characteristics
PC with integrated DVD/CD drive required to view the discs. All 48 discs were readable in December 2023.

The discs appear to include material from other family collections, which may have been loaned for copying but are not present in the archive. These items have few descriptions.
It also appears that not all items in the Hannen family archive as deposited were copied onto these CDs/DVDs.
