Abstract

The storage of eye-readable information at a location removed from its parent institution has a history of more than two thousand years. Despite changes in the kinds of information that are stored and the technologies that enable their storage, the relationship between a reader’s time and the distance of material from the reader is a constant challenge to information providers. Competing visions of service and economics, to which remote storage is one response, are timeless.
