Archive services
Do you know off the cuff how long a hard drive or a DVD lasts / remains readable? And celluloid? How about magnetic tape?.The reality is that there are no uniform answers to these questions.
That's because the type of storage, the properties of the 'storage medium' and how it is looked after all play key roles in its preservation.
One thing that applies to all types of media is that given the transient nature of the stored information the archive loses value. By taking appropriate measures, however, it is possible to preserve this value. The content can, for instance, be copied onto modern storage media.
This applies both to film as well as to video and audio material. And as the technology is in any case computer-based, other data of every kind can also be copied and backed up.
This is just one of many options for countering the loss of the information. You will find more on our solutions and services for storing and preserving your material in the relevant individual sections of this site.
