Re: Old computers lose history record, Kidd's flagship 'found',thousands of mummies, more stuff for the Smithsonian



The article about "old computers lose history record" is a good reminder of how much work we archivists have to do.
The article is a BBC news item in which  archaeologists, and the link to it is through the 'global museum'.   There is no mention of planning to migrate electronic data to new media, and there is a statement that information on the internet is permament.
Scary!
