Thx. It is a tall order. But also it is a question of historical significance - will all the vast records (not mine, but writers, artists, politicos, et al) just disappear?

Imagine a historian unable to review the correspondence of Churchill and others ….

Electronic (including "cloud") storage is ephemeral. Its short finite lifetime and ultimately its disappearance are simply part of The Plan (better put on a tin-foil hat...)

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

-- George Orwell, 1984
