Continue to have the Acts of Parliament printed on Vellum
The House of Commons is considering have the Acts of Parliament printed on "archival paper" rather than vellum in order to save £27,000 per year.
What do Paper, tape cassette, CD ROM, photographic paper, 35mm slides, Hard drives, USB sticks have in common as storage media? They will all fail as permanent storage media over time for one reason or another. There is one media that will out last them all - vellum.
Vellum’s what the Magna Carta was written on in 1215 and it’s what the laws of England are written in today in 2115, 900 years later. In fact the laws of the UK - Acts of Parliament - since 1497 have been printed on Vellum.
