School Archives
School of design 3D: That your works are not lost the conservation of the digital archives raises new challenges. At present there are negatives and perfectly conserved positives of century XIX but already are had lost for always digital archives that have not turned ten years. The following factors are due to consider that affect the present sources of documentation: All the digital supports are very fragile. The hard disks are in permanent risk by electrical or mechanical failures. The membrane of poli carbonate that surrounds to the metal where the data are recorded is susceptible of oxidation throughout the time. Another risk is the abrasion that undergoes a CD or DVD that happens periodically through the reader.
Also we must know that the life utility of a CD is entered as of the date of its manufacture and not of its recording. The conservation of the digital data not only depends on the device for its recovery, but also on suitable software. So far, the manufacturers of programs contemplate that a new program can read archives older and it is to hope that it continues thus with time. Dependency of the energy. In this case the electricity corresponds directly with the memory.
There is no closed digital file. Since it can time and time again be published of fast and simple way. This also means vulnerability. Whenever he appears new a storage media, we must migrate all our file towards him. In this way we updated hardware and corresponding software. A file of digital images, only can be safe if he is " vivo" and taken care of well. The archives " hbridos" made up of the copy in paper and the corresponding digital file they would be the perfect option, whenever it is possible.
