apologies for any cross-posting
the article "How to stave off a digital dark age" by Robert Colvile in Today's Daily Telegraph (p 19) may be of interest to the list. Although much of the article explaining digital preservation will be familiar it has a rare focus on archiving personal digital collections which raised my interest at least!
The article is also available online at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected/main.jhtml?xml=/connected/2007/07/05/nosplit/dldarkage05.xml
