Canadian Archive uses microfiche which are stable for 100+ years (or
acid-free paper for documents). The Canadian census was stored that way.
?was? because I am not sure we have a real census any more.
Digital storage is very ephemeral. I doubt if most digital storage will last
more than 10 years. Those 1?s randomly change to 0?s far too frequently. I
don?t think archivist like digital media very much.

Spencer
