Talk: Long-time preservation strategies for TeX-sourced content.
 
The amount of published material in the world has grown exponentially
since Gutenberg's invention, with a rate of doubling every 7 1/2 years 
right now. Electronic publishing will only increase this rate, posing 
new challenges for the long-time preservation of records and usability
for the future.

TeX has changed us into our own typists and even graphics designers
sometimes, but at the same time has provided the best strategy for 
preservation of scientific content we have. This talk will examine 
some of these strategies and how MSP - a non-profit scientific publisher -
has used it to improve usability of journals over time.
