Personal Digital Archiving
Art by Luke Atkinson
Digital information, which is stored using series of ones and zeros, is extremely fragile. All of our valued and important digital files — whether these are photographs, text documents, or videos — are at risk of becoming inaccessible within relatively short periods of time. In contrast to paper-based documents, which can be left alone and preserved for very long periods, digital information requires constant attention and intervention to be kept accessible.
Come to this class if you’re worried about how your personal digital archives can be preserved. Bring your laptops or old floppy disks if you want. We’ll help you develop strategies for making those ones and zeros last, at least for a bit.
Find the class in room A-3.
This class is presented in partnership with DC Public Library.
