How to preserve locally produced digital content is one of the most perplexing problems facing research libraries today. This session will report on an approach being tested by Brigham Young University in collaboration with Millenniata Inc. Presenters will review Brigham Young University’s digital preservation strategy, how use of Millenniata technology fits into that strategy, and report on early test results of Millenniata M-Writers and M-Arc disks. Millenniata Inc. has developed Write Once, Read Forever technology using discs made of rock-like materials. Once etched the M-Arc discs are compatible with current DVD readers but are expected to last for hundreds of years.
