The Good Word – Lasting a lifetime
Good words can last for many lifetimes, if they are printed on paper. Professional archivists do not consider CDs, DVDs, videos and other technological methods as permanent records. Only “hard copy,” or paper, is permanent. For some time I have been researching a tiny booklet of verse which was donated to the Windham Historical Society. […]
