You may run into issues when preserving your digital content as it moves beyond the most comment resource types. We suggest that you save your files in open, non-propriety formats to ensure that they can be read into the future. Not all software types continue to be supported year after year. Here are some ways to approach preserving your digital projects should they no longer be able to exist in their current format.
Collection
If your project requires specific hardware to interact with the project, make sure you save several sets of the hardware so they can be used into the future, after that hardware is no longer being created.
Emulation
Some older technology that is no longer supported or running on newer computers can be emulated. This means that they software works within a virtual machine created on the newer computer.
Migration
This process updates files from an older file type to an updated version which may or may not support the functionality your project needs. Migrating files might change your content and in the worst cases, destroy your work. This is why it is important to save back-up copies of your work, just in case. You will want to ask an expert before migrating any files.
