in my love of VHS tapes in the last few years, I have come across many home recorded tapes with original commercials, and interesting captured family footage and shows.

I am coming to see how unique of a video format the VHS tape was. From the top down, it was designed for the end user to easily record their own footage, bootleg, and make their own tapes. I am becoming a lot more aware of just how special of a format that makes the VHS tape, so we started an archival project, saving commercial breaks and other clips we thing are interesting. This sub seemed like a perfect place to share this
