looking into the future !
« on: Friday 21 January 05 16:13 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

    On a private tour of a records offices the other night .
        The lady took questions at the end .
        One question was
           How to Keep records for the future ,,
           The answer was unless you pay for the best paper acid free etc
          And ink  it will not stand the test of time  Shocked
            Cd's  Computer info  ,not tested too last  Shocked  5inch floppy disc's ,thing of the past !!  CD'S will be replaced within a matter of time !!
  Video gone  !
            So ,
                 The future will look bad for the next generation looking for our past !!
         And letters who keeps them now ?
         
         how many emails get saved ?
         No we live in a throw away age now !!

When registering my mother's death a few years ago I remarked to the registrar on the fact that the entries in the register were written with pen and ink whilst the copies were produced on a computer, and I asked why.   She told me that the ink used for the 'original' register is of a very special mix and will not fade, whereas most ink will fade quite quickly.   I now wish I had asked about the paper as well!

Looks like we'll have to put all our work in a lead-lined box and bury it in the garden - to be dug up in 100 years -  Undecided Undecided   if the planet is still here, that is !!

A friend of mine has a diary written by his mother - she wrote on both sides of the paper in an ordinary notebook with a ball point pen - almost all of it is unreadable, the paper got damp, the ink has run and has gone right through the thin paper pages, very sad  Cry
