The Iyer family archive

The Iyer family, 1993–2006. Personal archive for Windows.

Description

Photographs, home videos, letters and documents of the Iyer family, gathered over 14 years.

Provenance

Deposited by Goldwater Falls Central Library, which had held it unread for years. The dye layer had begun to fail at the outer edge; the last sectors came from a second read in a different drive. Independent reads agree bit for bit.
