Donating your phonograph recordings is as simple as 1 – 2 – 3.

Using the instructions below, pack your recordings in a sturdy box.

Address the package to:

Packing and Mailing

To prevent or minimize damage to your recordings use these tips:

Albums of fragile recordings should be individually bubble-wrapped before being placed in a sturdy cardboard box.

When sending individual phonograph recordings:

Create a stack of no more than ten recordings using several sheets of paper or cardboard between each one.
Tightly wrap the stack in bubble wrap and place in a sturdy cardboard box.

Please do not exceed the following per box maximum weight guidelines.

Media Type	Approximate Number	Weight (Lbs)
10” 78-rpm recordings	30 records	17
12” 78-rpm recordings	30 records	23
12” LP (33-1/3-rpm) recordings	40 records	24
16” LP (33-1/3-rpm) recordings	20 records	24
45-rpm recordings	200 records	23
Compact discs (CDs)	100 CDs	20
Cassette tapes	200 Cassettes	20
8-track tapes	100 tapes	25

Carefully packing your recordings will help insure against breakage and other problems during shipment.

Remember!

Bubble wrapped packages should be shipped in a strong cardboard box, filling all empty spaces with bubble wrap.
The least expensive way to ship your recordings is the US Postal Service Media Mail rate.
For added convenience: UPS stores will both pack and ship your recordings for a nominal charge.
If you have Judaica recordings in formats other than those listed above, we would still be interested in having them. Please use 25 lbs. as your maximum weight limit, and pack them carefully.

If you have any questions about how to pack or send us your recordings, please send an email note to our Zamler Coordinator:
