How does one go about studying and working in data archeology because this is really cool and seems like something that will be in greater demand as old media gets obsoleted and need to be retrieved to be preserved somehow.
Honestly I think myself and Chris (@scarybeast) would like to know too...! We've been learning as we go along.
Certainly I'd like to make contact with other people who are working in this area and compare notes... if anyone doing so is reading this, please do make contact. I'm on Twitter under the same username, Chris is @scarybeasts.
If you prefer email you can stick "@gmail.com" at the end of my HN username to get that :)
At the moment I'm working on cleaning up the remains of the DiscFerret project, and turning the project website into a general retrocomputing data recovery wiki.
