Digitalization [formerly: genealogy]



I attended this talk at the FGS Annual Conference. Wearing my archivist hat, I found especially interesting his discussion about two/thirds of the way down (at "Slide 37/105) of the Migration Challenge--the fact that, given current technology, if materials are digitalized, they must be migrated to newer technologies periodically, and his example of the geometric progression of the amount of migration that will have to be done over the years--something I had known about, but hadn't really conceptualized.
