Into the Future:
On the Preservation of Knowledge in the Electronic Age
A film by Terry Sanders, produced in association with the
Commission on Preservation and Access (a program of the Council
on Library and Information Resources) and the American Council
of Learned Societies, explores the issues behind the survival
of digitally stored information into the future. PBS stations
nationwide broadcast the film in 1998.
The program features insights from articulate shapers and
thinkers of the Information Age, such as Peter Norton, founder
of Norton Utilities; Tim Berners-Lee, father of the World Wide
Web; John Seely Brown, chief scientist at Xerox Corporation;
Michael Dertouzos, director of M.I.T. Laboratory for Computer
Science; Deanna Marcum, president of the Council on Library
and Information Resources; and Jeff Rothenberg, senior computer
scientist for RAND Corporation.
Funding for the film was provided by the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and
Xerox Corporation.
It is available on videotape in both hour-long and half-hour
versions.
