    Digital preservation is a dense and much-discussed issue; see:
    http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/
    In the digital preservation field, "digital archaeology" has come to be
    a term of art: it means what you have to do to recover and make readable
    a file in a long-outdated format for which hardware and software have
    died.
