Protecting our digital future » ‘Here comes everybody’: What does
information ubiquity mean for the archives?
Society today is producing far more information that it has the capacity to
store and preserve. The gap between what we create and what will actually
have the capacity to keep is also growing exponentially. ‘In fact, the
production of digital information has already outstripped global server
capacity by an estimated factor of four or five’ [15]. So say Daniel J Caron
and Richard Brown from Library and Archives Canada in their disturbingly
fascinating article in the current edition of the Canadian archival journal
*Archivaria* (Number 71, Spring 2011), ‘The Documentary Moment in the
Digital Age: Establishing New Value Propositions for Public Memory’.
