  • Archaeology of the future: Future historians will want to study the birth of the web using our digital trails – but how will they make sense of it all?
  • Respecting the digital dead: How can we keep digital bequests safe without poking our noses where they're not wanted?
  • Amateur heroes of online heritage: It'll take more than money alone to preserve today's internet pages for posterity
