All of these works were republished, rerecorded, or re-performed to great acclaim. What was lost was found. Small individual acts of care, spread over generations, led to their survival and rediscovery. The digital versions of these miracles can and will happen. One day, someone will find the flash drive on the ransacked floor of a house, the forgotten server in the ruin of a data center, the file in the bowel of a database. It will matter. Even if their contents had been damaged or forgotten, actions of previous care can bear fruit decades later. They are the difference between recovery and despair.
