The point about AI being a draft assistant rather than an authority is spot on. I've seen people treat OCR and transcription tools like gospel when they regularly butcher cursive handwriting and old spelling conventions. The real preservation work happens in that careful human review where context and nuance get preserved alongside the text itself. Backing up digital files in multiple locations is somethin I learned the hard way after almost losing years of scanned family photos to a hard drive failure.
Thank you, this is useful as I do have quite a lot of documents to preserve and thank you for including details of archival material which is something I have not got round to considering.
I wish I had some family historical documents to preserve it be wonderful I do have a mystery in my family my father's mother supposedly died in a fire when he was seven I can find a birth certificate but there is no death certificate and she died over 70 years ago
