Preservation Supports Innovation
Looking backward is one of the most powerful tools we have to foster creativity. Whenever we work to preserve and improve access to our history, we empower people to better learn and create in the future. This applies on the large scale: museums, libraries, and companies, and on the small scale: personal and family archives.
Good archival reaches far beyond preservation.
It involves developing and deploying strategies to make that preserved information more accessible. In a museum or Library, that could involve building digital archives to showcase vastly more items than could ever be physically put on display. This drives engagement with all kinds educational institutions, and increases connectivity across communities.
What if an architectural firm needs to quickly reference a previous project to complete a new contract? If a musician’s old songs are recorded on outdated cassettes or microfiche, how do they effectively share them? Digital archives can massively improve design workflows by providing creators with immediate, convenient access to past work resources and design solutions. Robust digital databases also future-proof old hardware, ensuring designers can always create with confidence.
