I saw an interview with an achaeologist who said that less than 10% of the human race has
ever produced objects that persist for longer than a few years. And then only if someone
else takes the trouble to protect them from destruction. It takes a whole chain of caring
people to enable something to survive for even 100 years. It takes state level resources to
protect something for 1000 years or more.

I talked to the curator for the American Musical Instrument Collection at the Smithsonian
Institute. She said the system is simply not equipped to deal with the rate of change
introduced by the industrial revolution. They are aware that instruments like Buchlas and
Moogs are historically significant, but there is no mechanism in place to preserve them at
the state level. Her comment was "You people who understand their historical significance
will have to protect them for the next 100 years before they become elegible under the
terms of our charter, Good Luck".

She was not being sarcastic, she was quite sincere.
