I saw a quip on TV the other day about the Library of Congress doing
archiving of documents and pictures.
They are doing everything in un-compressed TIFF to keep the best resolution.

Their main thing is to save documents from 'bit rot' once they are
digitized. The synopis was expect to
copy all your digital materials once every 5 to 10 years to the
'latest media', and expect to have to change
format, so use non-compressing formats so nothing gets lost in the
long run. ... Your tax money at work.

I just thought that was interesting.
