One the old iron front there are machine like IMP48 I haven't find docs 
for and History on Cincinati Millichron 2000 and 2100 series (1973ish).

cataloged yet.  One example is the whole software base for a 
defunct company that used S100 hardware something like 200 disks.

As to archiving, thats a next process.  It will take years and 
employment as it does require money to do it.  In the meantime I
copy media to other machines and occasionally read/refresh it.
