Dear All,

In light of this blog https://originaldisorder.wordpress.com/2016/03/11/empty-vessels/ In particular, untested theory 2

Untested theory #2.

That information stored on redundant tech is subconsciously de-prioritised out of a reluctance to deal with the consequences.

Does anyone have a digital media preservation strategy available? I appreciate that this may be covered by a general digital preservation strategy or someone might have a specific one dealing with digital media i.e. the technology side of it such as what to do about floppy disks or “flippy” disks.

Thanks
