Read the passage. Passage: The archive's director kept a shelf labeled Almost Saved. On it were flyers too damaged to scan, recordings with no player left to read them, and emails printed without the attachments that gave them context. Visitors found the shelf discouraging, but the director considered it honest. Preservation was not a magical rescue of everything. It was a series of choices shaped by money, technology, attention, and loss. Source note: Original FreeK12Practice ACT Reading-style text.
