Hello, We are reviewing floppy disks in our archival
collections—a great many of which are personal storage disks for word
processing documents, included within collections of the papers of individuals.
We have over 1000 disks, about half are 3 ½ inch and half are 5 ¼ inch. We
would like to use a vendor(s) to copy the files to useable media as is, and to
create plain text or pdf versions of the word-type documents, one per file. I
have read about in-house pilot projects doing this type of work, but we would
prefer to work with a vendor who is prepared with hardware and software to
handle obsolete media and formats. I would appreciate suggestions of vendors you
may have used to do this type of work. Thanks for advice. Kathy Kathleen E. Arthur Preservation Reformatting Librarian voice: 773-702-8628 fax: 773-702-6623 email: kar8@xxxxxxxxxxxx |
