Raiding the Lost Archives
from 1978 through 2016
What a pleasure--participating in the "rescue" of endangered
scientific,
cultural and
commercial data treasures over the years--reading tapes,
optical disks, floppies
and arcane file formats from
all sorts of systems.
Working with wonderful staff and great clients on
fascinating
projects. A bit of heaven! Thanks.
While MMC is no longer operating, we'll keep this site going, gradually morphing into more of a historical record of our work.We also want to encourage support for important projects like these:
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) has vowed to convert Census/Surveys micro data for next generation technology format use processed in IBM proprietary technology. After Bangladesh’s independence, there is a rich repository of statistical information in IBM 360 to ES/9000 mainframe tapes, dating back to late 1970s and early 2000s time. Please see OpenWorld for more.
Also pet causes such as IPDRC.
