https://arcticworldarchive.org/ would like a word



This is a high-tech vault located in the Arctic. Compare this with manuscripts that survived centuries by virtue of simply being on a library shelf in some random monastery.

Furthermore, the vault contents are stored on piqlFilm, which in turn uses Boxing barcodes [1]. So, they literally rely on an analog support.

I restm my case.
