Archiving

In the latest effort to narrow down INITIVM's TM format for INITIVM III, it is amazing the number of archival containers are out there to used. I am sort of finding it mind bending. It is fasinating to understand the design of the technology of preservation. History International Channel was showing how the Persians archived through the use a stone and gold. We, today, still want to make sure that creations still have there usefulness for a long time. We try to imitate Creation in so many ways, but change toward entropy is always a problem. As archiving may be a solution, archiving needs help and support from an enlightened society to survive completely.
