On Aging Content - The Long Process of Conversion

We bought our first house in June 2001 and moved to our new home in January 2013. In that 12 years (plus the five years in apartments) we've create a crap ton of content. That content is in the form of home video and movies on VCR tapes, photographs, negatives and all of the digital files stored on CDs, DVDs, and hard drives. I realized that some of that content is on aging media (VCR tapes and IDE hard drives) and needs to be moved to newer storage to prevent inaccessibility. We all have a responsibility of archiving that content so that our future selves and generations have access to it for historical and entertainment purposes. We all must become archivists.
