Origins of digital content: the scope of your archive
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....
