Fortunately the same documentation preserved by Bitsavers.org allows the rebuilding of all necessary Cray-1 series basic software support. 

For different types of collections, this balance is differently defined. For example paper conservation treatments commonly undertaken in the museum conservation laboratory would be impractical in a Hbrary archive having a far greater collection size. The use of treatments for mass paper quantities would be unacceptable in the art museum. Documents in archives and books in Hbraries serve a different goal from art objects in a museum. Their use value Hes primarily in their information rather than in an intrinsic esthetic value. Whereas optimal preservation of that information value requires preservation of the object itself, a copy or even a completely different format could serve the same purpose. 

Searching a crime scene is a complex process (25), involving poHce, crime scene technicians, and forensic scientists. The procedure requires careful documentation, collection, and preservation of the evidence. Trace evidence (26) in criminal investigations typically consists of hairs (27,28) both natural and synthetic fibers (qv) (29,30), fabrics glass (qv) (31,32) plastics (33) sod plant material budding material such as cement (qv), paint (qv), stucco, wood (qv), etc (34), flammable fluid residues (35,36), eg, in arson investigations explosive residues, eg, from bombings (37,38) (see Explosives and propellents), and so on. 

A primary objective of any safety program is to maintain or reduce the level of risk in the process. The design basis, especially inherently safer features that are built into the installation, must be documented. Management of change programs must preserve and keep the base record current and protect against elimination of inherently safer features. For identical substitution, the level of risk in the process is... 

This method of chromatogram preservation has lost a great deal of its importance with the increasing perfection of photographic methods, particularly since true-colored, instant, paper and slide positives have become available. Photography is the more rapid method of documentation if suitable photographic equipment is available.

Set up a mechanism to preserve the confidentiality of customer documentation and products. 

The standard requires that any obsolete document retained for legal and/or knowledge preservation purposes are suitably identified. Note that this requirement only applies to documents and not data. 

It must be emphasized, that the determination of the anticipated maximum overpressure volume at a specified pressure and temperature is vital to a proper protection of the process syste.m. The safety relief calculadons should be performed at the actual worst condidons of the system, for example, at the allowable accumulated pressure and its corresponding process temperature. These can be tedious and perhaps time-consuming calculations, but they must not be glossed over but developed in a manner that accounts for the seriousness of the effort. They must be documented carefully and preserved permanently.

Migrating only the raw data - the characters, numbers, bits, and bytes - forward is not enough to ensure usability. The meta data and the context for the application or database must also be migrated forward. Meta data are the code to the machine-stored bits and bytes. Meta data are the data about the data. They describe the data in the database. The meta data documentation describes the method of data capture, the application used to access the data, security rules for the tables and columns, and other descriptive and procedural information. For derived or calculated data, the algorithm or protocol that was used must be known. The documentation then becomes something else that must be preserved. Without the meta data, the reader will only see a series of alphabetic characters. Without the entire described context associated with the data, the data have no meaning.
