Great site. I'm muddling through a ton of archival tasks at the moment too. I feel like I have the rest of my natural life planned out just trying to preserve what's come before mine. Most is personal family records and keeping up with heritage. I'd love to archive thrift store finds, but I need to reign in the scope-creep. I'd be interested in seeing some of your techniques sometime.

Awesome thanks. I actually don't have a way to drag an optical disc at the moment. I need to change that.
you can get an external USB one for pretty cheap, $10 on a sale!
Thanks so much! I agree it's hard to reign in the scope creep when it feels like there's so much that needs to be preserved. I’m putting together some resources for personal archiving, but in the meantime please feel free to send me an email if there's something specific you're curious about!
