I helped digitally convert my local library's microfilm archives, mostly newspapers, but also some really old titles and deeds. Tons of stuff from the 1800s.

They've never had to recover a hard drive. It's okay, they'll learn the hard way.

As an old person who has archives dating back to the 90s, yes.
