I am  curious if anybody on our ILAT listserv has experience in working
with  gold-plated CDRs as an archival strategy.  I am contemplating
using  this type of media for archiving language data.


Yes, I have been using the Mitsui Gold CDs, although I think the name has  
changed slightly.  They are supposed to have a shelf life of 100+  years.  I 
have not had any problems with any of the disks, and I hope there  are none in 
the future.  Of course I doubt if I'll be around to see if  they last that long! 
 
 
In any case it will probably be necessary before too many more years to  
migrate the files onto some newer media and format.
