From the Domesday Book <http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/domesday/> to
modern government papers, the National Archives' collection
<http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/what-we-have.htm> of more than
11m historical government and public records is one of the world’s largest.
It includes paper and parchment, photographs, maps and paintings, but also
a vast number of digital records such as archived government websites,
emails and social media posts. Paper may last for thousands of years, but
what about the ever-expanding quantity of digital documents?

The National Archives' broad remit under the Public Records Act
<http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/legislation/public-records-act/>
is to permanently preserve the records of the UK government that have been
selected for their historic value.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
