I'm actually starting the archiving of the more than 1,500 8" disks that I
have. Here are my intended methods. If anyone has any comments, please speak up.
The ultimate goal is an online searchable database of these disks.
1) number each diskette sequentially with date
2) taking a digital picture of the label
3) Making a catweasel image of the contents
4) Makine an ImageDisk image of the contents
5) Storing the following information in a database
Diskette number
Any text from the label
System if known
OS used if known
Date of origin if known
Description of contents
if commercial software, the publisher/author
Photo of the label
Both disk images
