Present times are the most documented in human history. I pity the future historians that have to sift through the vomit people have left on the internet while they search for something of substance.

I have wondered just how much of our media are being deliberately stored away to maintain a record. My city library stores a copy of every newspaper issued since we've had local papers, but I don't know if that's a thing that they do, or if there's a law of some sort demanding it. If there isn't, there should be.

Probably a lot of it, but it's got to be a lot less that's safe from the eventual solar flare.

History is usually based on administrative records, not contemporary chronicler historians. The whole idea of an historian that chronicles current events for future generations isn't universal.
