Data storage, 1970's

Canada 1970.  The Official Handbook of Present Conditions and Recent Progress.  Ottawa:  Year Book Division, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, 1970.
Canada Handbook.  The 47th Annual Handbook of Present Conditions and Recent Progress.  Ottawa:  Publishing Section, Information Division, Statistics Canada,1978.
I suppose all of these magnetic tapes are now taking up room in land fills.  As far as I know, no one ever developed a method of recycling this stuff.  (Think VHS tapes.)
