At Cornell, we have a grant to come up with a digital preservation framework for CD-ROM art — art created for now-obsolete operating systems and hardware platforms. Of the many activities we are engaging in to develop this framework is looking at emulation strategies for providing access to these works. We’ve got a few working systems going from older Macs to PCs. The purpose of this session will be to have a show and tell (and possibly learn and hack) on various emulation strategies: I can show what I have put together for our project and I’m interested in seeing if others have done anything similar* and could offer advice or feedback. (*Other handy uses for emulation include retrieving old files that are stuck in a long-lost proprietary format.)
