And he's basically an eccentric dude that acquired this collection years ago and has been doing his best to preserve it on his own. I asked Daniel if he knew whether or not the tapes and photos had been digitized and backed up. Daniel told me that Don was trying to do this, but he's getting older and doesn't have much money. And this is when I got pulled into a bit of a side quest.

Daniel introduced me to Don McKinney that afternoon on the phone. I spoke to Don about his huge collection of George's stuff. He told me that he had indeed been trying to digitize it over the years, but it's been hard. There are so many tapes. He had a nephew that was helping him out at one point, but the nephew has moved away.

He also told me that the hard drive on his computer was getting full, and he needed tech support with that, along with a bunch of other things. I was like, hey, Don, I make this show called Otherworld, and I have two guys that are both named Theo who work on the show and are really good at audio.

Maybe I can ask them if they want to come out there with me, and we could try to help you out with preserving some of this stuff. Suddenly, Theo and Theo flew in from Santa Fe in New York, where they live, and all three of us were driving out to the desert to meet Don McKinney and spend the week helping him digitize this giant archive of George Van Tassel's reel-to-reel tapes.

Photographs, blueprints, writings, and much more. This ended up being quite a huge task. If you want to hear more about our week in the desert with Don and the archive, we recorded a Patreon episode about that. I also filmed a little... mini doc slash interview with Don while I was out there, and I'll be posting that on the Patreon as well.

The work we did out in the desert with the archive was mainly not for the podcast, but ever since I started this show, I've always hoped that Otherworld could do more than just tell stories, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity where we could use the resources of the show to not only help out Don, but also preserve some paranormal history.

I'm actually currently working with Daniel Paul trying to get Don McKinney's collection into a museum so that I could finally have a permanent home somewhere where it can not only be preserved properly, but also somewhere where it can be enjoyed by the public. We have some promising leads on that, so fingers crossed.

But for now, the side quest is not quite over, and I will keep you updated if any updates come in the future. By the way, after doing all of this, I realized I completely forgot to even tell David from the previous episode that I was doing it. I ended up reaching out to him after I got back from our Don McKinney escapade.
