1/4 What a great piece to read as I prepare my biggest keynote to date, for an international born-digital collections conference. I've spent a lot of time thinking about what it is one is trying to store at any given point, and the difference between digital collections and digital archives

"The goal of century-scale storage must be to preserve that which we have created so that...those we will never meet, may experience their intricacies & ecstasies, their capacities for enlightenment." Great deep piece on principles&practice of archiving at scale.
