Without getting into the issue of data formats here, let's think about the sources of your archival data.
At the high level, your data comes from three primary areas; your personal life, your work life, and your community activities. Think about all three when you consider what is worth saving.
Your data will be scattered across:
- PCs, current and old, yours and other people's
- removable media: diskettes (floppies?), CDs, DVDs, tapes, Zip disks, VHS tapes... even hard drives removed from PCs
- websites: Flickr, social profiles like MySpace and facebook, personal sites and blogs....
