At the suggestion of some folks on this list, I've created a website that lists the recommendations for new media preservation offered in the concluding chapter of Re-collection:
http://re-collection.net/recommendations.html
Our "twelve-step program" to rescue digital culture is broken down by profession:
Curators
Conservators
Archivists
Collection Managers
Institutions
Programmers
Lawyers
Creators
Dealers
Sponsors
Academics
Historians
Rick and I hope these guidelines may answer some of the questions asked on this list and spur additional strategies for safeguarding our heritage in the decades to come.
