I have MacWrite 1.0 and 2.0 files from 1984-87. I had to have a friend with an original Mac read the 3.5" disks for me, as I had the files on the floppies I got with my 1984 Mac.
I have WordPerfect files from 1987-1991. Those were only on 5.25" disks, which I read using a DOS machine at my last place of work.
I also have various Mac and Word, Excel, and Photoshop files from 1988 to present. Those went from hard drives to ZIPs to CDs across systems and over time. Web sites from 1985 onward. My compuserve email from 1989-95 archived as text (I still have the 3.5" program disks). And my email in Eudora from 1996 onward. Not to mention my calendar from 1996 to 2010 in a Palm format.
