Melissa,

Alas, I don't have the answer for you, but you might want to check 
out the Library of Congress's Web site on digital preservation at 
http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/.

>Greetings,

>We recently completed an oral history project that includes mini DV
>tapes, a DVD, written and digital transcripts, and digital images.  This
>is the first time we have done oral histories in about 15 years.  My
>question is about the digital transcript.  In what format should I save
>the digital transcript?  Text, word, PDF?  The digital version is burned
>on to the DVD as a Word document.  I had trouble opening it with Word
>and ended up opening it with WordPad.  Is it best to keep the text in
>the most basic format?
