"The National Archives has teamed up with Microsoft to solve the problem of reading, managing and making accessible data in legacy Microsoft formats that can no longer be read by recent versions of the company's software. The National Archives is the UK government's official archive and contains around 900 years of historical material. It estimates to have 580 terabytes of data in formats no longer commercially available."
