That’s where I’m at. Why not both? Redundancy is good,
Paper copies are good to have till they’re no longer necessary (edit: and apparently these aren’t necessary anymore)
Digital copies are also useful for obvious reasons
They aren’t necessary, that’s the point.
They want to preserve them as historical documents and the government is trying to cut storage costs.
Oh
Well in that case I’m a lot more meh about this. Thanks!
Yeah I’m not a historian so I’m not sure the value of keeping the originals.
