September Issue
Long-term preservation is becoming more and more crucial as the amount of
digital information increases and advances in technology show no signs of
slowing down. It is estimated that as technology advances, and hardware and
software goes out of date, 3bn worth of data are becoming obsolete every
year in the European Union.
In response, scientists in Europe have created a time capsule they call a
digital genome and have placed it in a bunker deep beneath the Swiss Alps
for 25 years. The aim of the project is to ensure that future scientists
will be able to decipher the data using obsolete technologies.
This project is highlighted in a special section of this month's newsletter.
In addition, other articles regarding long-term preservation are featured in
the various sections of the newsletter, some of which are described below.
