Subject: [OM] New AV archiving publication
http://www.ccaaa.org/news_010504.htm
A revision of the Philosophy of Audiovisual Archiving published by UNESCO in
1998. This revised and renamed document reflects the changes that have
occurred in the audiovisual archiving field, in the intervening period,
ranging from the challenges of digitization and technological changes.
Not technical - thoughtful. Especially see Section 5 - Preservation.
Summary: Don't lose the original. Obsolescence of formats, physical and
logical, is constant. All the more reason to avoid encryption and digital
rights management which create even more barriers.
The document may cause you to think of what you have been creating, a
personal archive of your creations. How do you want it preserved? Is enough
ancillary information there? Will it survive?

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty
than to those attending too small a degree of it.
