Labeling DVDs for archiving

[Jeanne Niccolls]

I am looking for a solution for labeling directly onto DVDs for archiving purposes. Our collection of oral histories is currently kept on DVD, on cassette,  and electronically on a server and on a separate hard drive. We also keep two copies of the DVDs for public use.  Currently, I am labeling on the DVDs with a Sharpie, and my head archivist is not happy with this solution. So we have decided to create an archived copy with labeling only on the case, not on the DVD. But I want to keep some sort of labeling on the DVD itself for the public copies. I fear the day when the DVD gets separated from the case. Making new DVD copies is not a problem, since we have a high speed copier (best investment ever.) Any ideas?
