Leontien Talboom of Cambridge University Libraries led the “Future Nostalgia” project to preserve data on aging floppy disks, which are degrading physically and losing the tacit knowledge needed to access their contents. By collaborating with the retro computing community and developing specialized techniques to read various formats, the project aims to transfer and maintain floppy disk data sustainably before it is lost.
