- Wikipedia on digital preservation (in general, not just personal data)
- archivematica , a blog by an academic researcher on this topic
- and another, less active
- Rethinking personal digital archiving , an interesting presentation
- Personal Archives Accessible in Digital Media Universities of Oxford and Manchester come together to explore the issues involved in preserving digital private papers, especially their Workbook on Digital Private Papers
While there is very little available on preserving personal digital archives, there is much work going on to preserve national archives, librariesd, and scholarly work. These projects bear watching for the personal spinoffs they might produce or provide:
- Ex Libris
- Data portability
- DSpace
- LOCKSS
- Fedora
- I haven't yet checked how selective the Internet Archive is
- Microsoft's MyLifeBits seems to run better on powerpoint than for real ;-D
