I want to second the suggestion of making sure archive.org gets them. 
That footage is 30i (interlaced) and if you give archive.org the MPEG-2 
(or DV) files that will result as part of the acquisition, nothing will 
get lost.  The original MPEG-2 files will be available for full quality 
viewing, and archive.org automatically transcodes MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 for 
those who want to stream/watch online or grab a portable copy.

This is the main reason the Computer Chronicles videos on archive.org 
can still be used for broadcast applications; all 60 fields per second 
are preserved in the MPEG-2 files.
