What is a legacy lab?

A Legacy Lab is a specialized facility or organizational unit focused on preserving, archiving, and sometimes digitizing important historical records, artifacts, documents, or data for future generations. These labs often work with materials that have significant cultural, scientific, or organizational value and may be part of museums, libraries, universities, or private institutions. Legacy Labs use a combination of traditional preservation techniques and modern technology to ensure that valuable legacies are protected and accessible. Their work is crucial in maintaining historical continuity and supporting research, education, and public awareness.
