Under a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Microsoft will provide TNA with a system that combines previous versions of Windows and Office to help solve problems of managing historical records based on legacy formats.
In return, TNA will contribute its experience in digital preservation as input to the company’s future product development. Ultimately, the aim is to ensure that information is retained and kept accessible in the face of rapid digital and technological change, avoiding what Microsoft calls “a new digital dark age”.
