My name is J.J. Surbeck. I have the singular honor of having been entrusted by Mary-Margaret Moore with the task of converting all the cassette tapes made in the years during which Bartholomew spoke through her into .mp3 electronic files. The main reason for this project? Cassette tapes have a life span of about 50 years, after which they start to decay, with the risk that their content gets lost to posterity. Do the maths: Bartholomew spoke between 1978 and 1995, and consequently some tapes are already showing their age in the dwindling quality of their audio tracks. (For more details about how this happened, see How the Bartholomew Material Project began).

What has been done so far?

A certain number of converted tapes have been added to the web site I created for that purpose at BartholomewMaterial.com. As the conversion of additional tapes progresses, more will be added that will be announced in this newsletter (see below) at more or less regular intervals. Much remains to be done before all the tapes are converted and made available to the public.

Missing tapes

Even though I am now in possession of most of the existing tapes, a detailed inventory has shown that there are still quite a few missing, the list of which can be found on this page: missing tapes. If anyone knows of a cache of forgotten Bartholomew tapes hidden in an attic or a basement, or else in a private collection that the owner(s) wouldn't mind transferring for the benefit of this project, please contact me at info@bartholomewmaterial.com. Shipping costs will be reimbursed.

Recently added tapes

The following list of tapes was recently uploaded. Clicking on each title will take you directly to the corresponding audio file that you can then listen to at your leisure or download for later listening. Forgive the apparent disorganization since the numbers are not always in sequential order, but as mentioned on the web site, priority has been given to the tapes with the best audio quality. The gaps in beween will be filled progressively as the missing ones are added.
