Obsolete File Formats to be Saved by Emulation
By
The Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS) in Europe, is attempting to create an emulator that aims to be able to open all electronic file formats since the 70’s. The project is called KEEP, and new file formats will be able to be added retroactively once the project is done.
KEEP (Keeping Emulation Environments Portable) will develop an Emulation Access Platform to enable accurate rendering of both static and dynamic digital objects: text, sound, and image files; multimedia documents, websites, databases, videogames etc. The overall aim of the project is to facilitate universal access to our cultural heritage by developing flexible tools for accessing and storing a wide range of digital objects.
