Wessex grasp the nettle of non-Digital Photographic sustainability

But, but, but, Jack says jpegs have been around for ages, which is certainly more convincing evidence than your claim that prints have been around for over a century so there is clearly no problem. Presumably that's what he teaches at his high-quality school. :face-thinks:

I too can remember people struggling to get information off old storage formats and it is easy to imagine how much fun that might be in 100 years time.

Archaeologists will ultimately have no say in the matter.
