Archives

[Ron Force <rforce@uidaho.edu>]

Librarians like archives.  Just as we preserve newspapers and business
records as reflective of the life of the community, we'd like to
capture  this history as well.  Rather than lose this snapshot of
community life and thought, we could make a copy on CDROM and save it in
Special Collections.  While CDROMs are not truely archival, they have
the potential to preserve digital information by periodic copying to
whatever medium may be the current technology.
