An archaeological look at born-digital content from the Library of Congress’s digital preservation blog: Preserving electronic literature and providing access to the 20th century platforms they were created on at the Media Archaeology Lab (MAL) at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
My favorite pull-quote, from MAL Director Lori Emerson: “The clackety-clack of the keyboard, the act of taking the 5.25″ floppy out of its sleeve, sliding it into the drive, hearing the whir and beep of the machine, the ability to open up the hood and insert an expansion card is integral to the reading/writing experience.”
