We greatly appreciate all the folks who have donated items to our collection, provided photos and sent wonderful information related to sound recording for us to include on this site.  Thank you!

Non-profit entity dissolved: In December 2017, after five years of working to create a permanent public non-profit museum, the Board decided we'd had given it our best effort and the non-profit was dissolved. Some of the significantly valuable vintage devices that had been donated to the Museum were purchased by the Theophilus permanent collection owners. Other donated items were sold to interested parties and the remaining funds donated to the non-profit "Swan Songs." The non-profit museum ceased to exist on December 31, 2017. We are no longer pursuing funding for a permanent facility.

We greatly appreciate all the persons who donated information and items to the non-profit museum and who have continued to support the private collection! Thank you! Chris and Martin Theophilus

Some statistics:

• Number of collected items owned by the Theophilus' beginning in 1964 that are still in the collection - 134

• Number of items bought by the Theophilus' for the Reel2ReelTexas collection beginning in 1999 and continuing to date - !,489

• Number of items donated to Reel2ReelTexas (not the non-profit) - 8

• Number of items donated from 2012 to 2017, to the non-profit Museum of Magnetic Sound Recording in which the donor was provided an IRS deduction certificate -  31

• Number of MOMSR donated items sold prior to the dissolution to meet MOMSR financial obligations - 8 @ fmv $1,184.07

• Number of MOMSR donated items that the Theophilus/Reel2ReelTexas collection purchased to meet MOMSR financial obligations and preserve for the future - 16 @ fmv $1,285

• Number of remaining items donated to Goodwill - 7 • The final funds were provided to the non-profit "Swan Songs" as required by IRS

CREDITS - MOMSR 10/1/2012 to 12/31/2017 (non- profit dissolved 12/31/17) NOTE: some donors have been added that donated to the collection after MOMSR was dissolved.

A very special thanks to my wife Chris Theophilus who initiated this collection with the gift of the Edison cylinder player. Chris has helped carry many heavy tape recorders to our second floor studio and collection display.  She's also put up with endless hours about tape recording.

Of course Chris does have her horse stable.

To my parents who always supported my pursuit of recording and allowed me to build a recording studio into their home.

Also, thanks to everyone who provided content or perspective to this production!

And to our Board of Directors who worked from 2012 to 2017 to make the permanent public facility a reality! Unfortunately support for the project was not forthcoming.
