CCPS 2.0
About the CCPS
The Calgary Cassette Preservation Society is non-profit organization dedicated to the digitization of analog recording artifacts and ephemera by bands and artists of the Calgary region.
We were founded in 2007 and posted artifacts via Blogger until 2023. The old site is still available at calgarycassettes.blogspot.com as we migrate our posts to this site.
