Just like paper and other materials from your physical archive and collections require specific storage conditions, your digital archives and collections also need attention. There is after all a chance that files which you created years ago can no longer be opened, appear differently, or respond in a different way.

Dit geldt voor bestanden op je computer en server, maar ook voor bestanden die je bewaart op externe dragers, zoals cd-roms, usb-sticks of externe harde schijven. De dragers in goede omstandigheden bewaren, garandeert niet dat de opgeslagen bestanden leesbaar blijven. Gegevens kunnen verdwijnen door het verouderen van de drager, maar ook hard- en software raken door de technologische evolutie in onbruik. Met een recente laptop kan je vandaag zelfs geen cd’s of usb-sticks meer lezen zonder de aankoop van randapparatuur.
This applies for files on your computer and server, but also for files which you save on external carriers, such as CD-ROMs, USB sticks or external hard drives. Storing the carriers in good conditions does not guarantee that the saved files will still be readable. Data can disappear as the carrier ages, and hardware and software also become obsolete as technology evolves. New laptops can’t even read CDs or USB sticks without the use of peripheral equipment anymore.

Storing your digital archive

Just like paper and other materials from your physical archive and collections require specific storage conditions, your digital archives and collections also need attention. There is after all a chance that files which you created years ago can no longer be opened, appear differently, or respond in a different way.

This applies for files on your computer and server, but also for files which you save on external carriers, such as CD-ROMs, USB sticks or external hard drives. Storing the carriers in good conditions does not guarantee that the saved files will still be readable. Data can disappear as the carrier ages, and hardware and software also become obsolete as technology evolves. New laptops can’t even read CDs or USB sticks without the use of peripheral equipment anymore.
