Digital Domesday Book lasts 15 years, not 1000

The "showcase for Britain's electronic prowess" - the Digital Domesday Book - has proven itself to be just that. Its is now unreadable, reported the Observer
in a recent article.
So, to preserve your records for posterity, you can:

  • Print them using pigment based inks on your digital printer
or
  • Put them up on a website and hope that a web archive project crawls your site. You can ask them to do so, and access the result with the Wayback Machine.
