Not Forgotten is committed to future proofing its legacies in its holdings. This means ensuring they are discoverable long into the future. For that reason we are a registered library. Each legacy produced by Not Forgotten has its own library card.

The purpose of libraries is to make the world’s knowledge more accessible. Not Forgotten is creating a library of human stories saved in legacy products, and for this purpose is a registered library.

In order to maintain our status as a library, we must share information about our holdings and employ a library management system that facilitates global sharing.

We preserve records in a ISO-27001 certified data repository system. This means that Not Forgotten Customers will have a preserved library record which will last generations.

The library records can be viewed here and are and added to WorldCat.

Our digital lives are as much a part of us today as our physical lives. The most fundamental impulse that drives collecting institutions like archives, museums and libraries: memory. How do societies document evidence and information about the past in such a way that will be useful for their members in the present as well as for anyone at anytime in the future? How do families pass down their knowledge, experiences, histories and legends from one generation to the next? People have been successful at this endeavor for centuries and centuries. Different groups in different times have employed a diverse set of available technologies to communicate to future generations, including oral traditions, written traditions and documentary recording media (still images, sound recordings and moving images). “We need to share stories; we need to write to each other, and about each other; and we need to record our voices and our likenesses. We cannot preserve everything. And not everything needs to be preserved. But the more we talk, the more we write and the more we document, the better chance some fragment of our expressions and experiences will make its way to our descendants.”
