An interesting article about accessioning author's electronic files, for
example from David Foster Wallace, Salman Rushdie, and John Updike. Much
familiar information about the difficulty of dealing with digital
materials, which includes the following quote:
"If you're interested in primary materials, you're interested in the
context as well as the content, the authentic artifact," Ms. Farr said.
"Fifty years from now, people may be researching how the impact of word
processing affected literary output," she added, which would require
seeing the original computer images.

Also discusses a connection to computer forensics as a potential source
of guidance.
