💾 Saving Digital Legacy
So I got the idea for the title of this section from this page.
This section is about
the obtaining and archival of digital media and digital content. Some of
what I put in
this section has its
own guides
and lists so I suggest going through them to understand what you're
doing and how to do
it. It is also
highly
suggested that you go through this section in the order it is laid out!
