Hey everybody, how's it going?
So in the past year, I've been doing some tape collecting, and I've noticed that a lot of the lesser-known tapes either have little to no documentation online, and if they do, they likely have no available video of them on the internet.
That's why recently I started this project which I'll call "The VHS Project". Included in this project are both a Google Sheet which documents lesser-known VHS tapes by the following:
...as well as a folder that contains images of said VHS tapes.
This project is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, so with that being said, there are a few rules and qualifications that'll need to be addressed:
In order for a tape to qualify for this project:
In regards to the project, the rules are simple and fairly straightforward
1. No vandalism of any kind. This is a professional project, and only those serious in contributing should add to it.
2. No removal of any listed tapes. If a tape is found to be on archive.org, it will simply be labelled with a "Yes" in the appropriate column and left at that.
3. Adult videotapes are allowed to be listed in the Sheet. However, for the time being, their images shall not be posted to the Images folder.
4. Tape Images should be placed in their appropriate folder. If a video series or religious ministry is being listed, make a folder for each tape under a folder for the whole series/ministry.
I hope that with this project we will see better documentation of the more obscure tapes that slip through the cracks of our more popular searches and that we will eventually see more of these tapes enter more public accessibility through means of the internet.
Here's the link to the project. Contribute as much as you want!

That's why recently I started this project which I'll call "The VHS Project". Included in this project are both a Google Sheet which documents lesser-known VHS tapes by the following:
- Title
- Year Produced
- Name of Including Series (if Applicable)
- Producing Agency/Agencies
- Whether the Video is up on archive.org, and
- Additional Notes (Usually whether the Images of the tape are in the Images Folder)
...as well as a folder that contains images of said VHS tapes.
This project is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, so with that being said, there are a few rules and qualifications that'll need to be addressed:
In order for a tape to qualify for this project:
- It cannot be in or related to a major syndicated series (Sesame Street, NCIS, Mod Squad, etc.). Smaller, lesser known television series such as those that air on PBS or smaller television networks are alright.
- The title MUST BE ON VHS. Projects for other formats such as Betamax, U-Matic, and Video 2000 may arise in the future.
- The title must not be readily available on mainstream video websites unless said video is extremely low quality or a snippet/preview (see linked examples).
- Said tape must NOT be a home recorded tape, and must have some form of an official release.
