Return to regularly scheduled kvetching

Article in the Sunday Times about some guy who's trying to archive absolutely all printed material, in the (fully rational) fear that digitized crap won't last.  Yay!  How do I get to be the guard at one of these bunkers? 

This is amazing, and just look at the crappy, grainy, not-at-all-my-fault quality of the scan!:

Two people a month used the periodical room!  Nightmare.

I would like to think that my basement shelving full of selected magazines and such is contributing in some way to the chance that future peoples will understand who Suede was, what 1996 fashions were and who Jeff Koons was.  It's just me vs. time now, apparently.
