I’ve USB external drives for those (yep, I do).
Okay, not for the cassette memory style tape, but for the floppies absolutely. Although you’re also correct because most of those floppies aren’t readable anymore because they’ve corrupted.
In a moment of right-wing capitalism for me, I see an untapped market here. A company that provides archive services for any newspaper that no longer wants to or can afford to, and sells access to historians, researchers, and the public at large for a small price. It’s not going to make a ton of money, because as someone else said, most people won’t have much use for it, but it could be profitable enough to work as a going concern.
My radical socialist nature says government should provide this same service through the library of Congress, archiving as many newspapers as they can and providing it free to everyone. But we all know that shit ain’t gonna happen, at least not in the United States, so why even bother bringing up the point.
