Great to see this in the popular media! Except that it perpetuates the myth that not using labels or writing on CD’s is the way to preserve digital information. Were it so simple.

They were at the Library of Congress lab and the story was titled "Destroy to Preserve". It is not on their website yet, but keep your eyes open! They gave some helpful hints about not using labels and not writing on CDs. They also showed how conservators are testing longevity via aging tests. Great to see this in the popular media!
