Digital Preservation, Part 3

Here is the final part of Gary Wright's digital preservation series.  It is a great wrap up!

A sad thought indeed!

If you liked Part 1, you need to now catch Part 2. Thanks to Gary Wright for these two articles! Gives me lots to think about!

There are many ways to digitize your important items. Check out local libraries, universities, and local genealogy societies. You should be able to get some direction from those sources.
