Software has become the new architecture that our world is built on, and source code its blueprints. Without this vital component of history, we suffer a range of loss: of culture, of understanding, and the ability to reproduce the work of previous generations.

Efforts like Software Heritage are vital « seed vaults » of source code to draw from, reducing the endangerment and forgetting of the foundations of our online society and world.
