For example, you might want a picture of each of your children 39 40 CHAPTER 3 Generic Archiving Methodology on their birthdays to show how their appearance changed over time. This could motivate you to capture specific poses (such as standing up) at each birthday party. The emergence of digital photos makes it easier to sort, select, and pick the picture you want to save.

Tossing it into the dumpster is certainly a viable plan for some things but not others. The issue of how to dispose of something is determined by the consequences of not disposing of it properly as well as the cost of disposal.
If you set a policy that is too short and want to extend it later on, it might be too late to apply to objects that were already discarded through the earlier policy. When in doubt, leave things in the archive longer than you need to. The effect of old data is often overlooked in designing an archive. I hear people say that the required retention period is 25 years and therefore they don’t have to worry about the discard policy for a couple of decades. What they are overlooking is that some of the data that will flow into the archive when it is first implemented could already be several years old and have been sitting in the operational databases for all that time.
