Data through the Decades

Technology is rapidly changing. As a result, media types that were once widely used have become obsolete, but the data stored on these different media formats can be extremely important to the historical record. Visit UTA Special Collections on the sixth floor of Central Library from April 3-30, 2023 to explore different types of media formats and how we preserve them for future access! We will be featuring examples of different obsolete technology including a laptop computer from 1987!
