Storage
All material contributed to the Memory Bank is stored digitally in two environments ? in the web environment and in archive quality removable digital storage such as compact disk. In addition to this there are paper copies of all transcripts and texts. At the point of writing, moving images are held on VHS and High8 but this is only temporary and under discussion.
