Abstract
How can we rescue good data from bad databases? Many archives have interesting and unique material languishing in legacy databases on CD-ROMs. We present a case study on rescuing unique nonprofit tax returns stored on over 700 CD-ROMs and show how other archivists can work with similar material.
