Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements
William Volk's backup tape was digitized by volunteer Keith Kaisershot. Volk used a Macintosh computer, and the data was digitized was two HFS+ disk images. The original disk images have been retained for archival storage.
We have attempted to present as many files as possible in a modern format in order to be viewed in-browser. This resulted in some formatting changes from the original documents.
Several documents in Volk's papers were intended to be printed and contain dynamic dates, ie., they will always show today's date rather than the date they were written. These documents have not been unaltered and will display the current date when viewed in our digital archive.
Many files could not be identified or converted due to their obsolete and proprietary formats. Unparsable files have either been omitted or marked as unreadable. Several files could not be easily extracted and converted due to using the classic Mac OS-specific resource fork format.
For a complete list of all files originally on each hard drive and their original dates, see the "Manifest" file uploaded alongside each drive in the digital archive.
