I have come to appreciate the availability of free graphics with the amount of presentations I have had to put together, particularly over the last six months with teaching as well as presenting as part of my role at the Library. I am a heavy user of the wonderful digital preservation illustrations from
Digitalbevaring.dk, which has inspired me to make my own illustrations available under a creative commons licence.
I have put together a small pack containing eight illustrations (with some extra colour variations) of digital physical carriers. This includes a 3.5" floppy disk, 5.25" floppy disk, Apple PowerBook 1400c, CD-ROM, Digital Linear Tape, Jaz Disk, USB drive and Zip Disk.
I am providing access to these under a
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence.
You can download a zip file on the following page, which may be updated in the future with more illustrations:
