Media mail (under current USPS guidelines) must be 
educational and can not be a computer or digital drive (hard 
disk, thumb drive, etc.).  So write on the tape (end that 
can be easily written and read) "For educational use 
only".   When sending just note that it contains media for 
educational use. If pressed for details - note that it's 
used to demonstrate (teach about) vintage communications 
technology. Education is one of the basics used to qualify 
for 501 C3 tax exempt status - so needless to say - anyone 
involved with a museum, public service (to including 
educating the public about the service and how it works), 
etc. always looks for opportunities to promote and perform 
the educational function.  So be it with providing supplies 
to do so.

best regards...
