In honor of today being International Digital Preservation Day, our 
colleagues at the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) have produced 
what they call the "Bit List" of "Digitally Endangered Species". This 
is actually a fascinating survey of how well we are doing at preserving 
various kinds of digital materials, why specific types are at greatest 
risk, and similar issues. The overview page can be found at 

http://dpconline.org/our-work/bit-list

and divides the survey into Concern, Lower Risk, Vulnerable, 
Endangered, Critically Endangered, and Practically Extinct. 

Very much worth looking at. If you are not familiar with the work of 
the DPC, they have produced many valuable reports, and it's also worth 
spending some time exploring their site.
