volunteer, lasqueti island community archive

[sue wheeler]

I am part of a group who are beginning an archive collection for a small island community in British Columbia, Canada. We are scanning material as well as collecting it physically. I am concerned that what we scan may not be digitally accessible in, say, 20 years, as computer programs will likely have changed. What can we do about this?

Can there be anything of interest here?
