Web pages typically last about 100 days before being changed or deleted. Since 1996, the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has preserved nearly 900 billion pages, making them accessible to all. cbsn.ws/3XfPOYu

What is now called the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (part of the Library of Congress) was established in 1931. By 1934 the service was distributing sound recordings called "talking books," along with braille materials. That means we’ve been in the talking book/audiobook business for close to a century! Here’s a look at how audiobooks for NLS patrons are made today! #WorldBookDay

Industry pros sweat the possibility that many digital files will eventually become unusable — an archival tragedy reminiscent of the celluloid era.
