Good question and please share the information. Perhaps AIIM headquarters
can provide some information.

I need to know if guidelines have been established for the archival storage
of digital media.  We are embarking on a digital project of Colorado images
and plan to store our back-up copies of the high resolution scanned images
on both CD-ROMS and DAT tapes.   What room temperature is recommended for
longevity storage, and are there any other factors we need to consider  to
aid the life of these back-ups?


Thanks in advance for your input.  I'd be happy to summarize and share the
results with the listserv or any individuals who care to know.


Sincerely,
