Abstract

[Feature] With care and good advance planning it is possible to preserve and document current digital projects, and to reconstruct old ones. Multitrack tape projects are particularly challenging for the archivist. While old analog formats can be dealt with after many years, the first two decades of digital recordings need rapid attention while there are still machines around that work or can be fixed.
