The Rostami family archive

The Rostami family, 1996–2004. Personal archive for Windows 95 and 98.

Description

Photographs, home videos, letters and documents of the Rostami family, gathered over 9 years.

Provenance

Deposited by Port Wrenmont Community Archive, which had held it unread for years. The drive spun up and was imaged behind a write blocker in a single pass. Only fragments could be read. They are kept because nothing else of the work survives.
