Abstract

Preservation in the digital world is one of the central leadership issues of our day. It is the responsibility of many people in many institutions fulfilling many roles. An understanding of the impact of this role differentiation on digital preserva-tion action is crucial to identifying which of the many facets of digital technology we can control, which trends we may only influence, and which aspects we must re-linquish any vain expectation for either control or influence. This technical article suggests a framework for understanding preservation in the digital context by creat-ing a bridge from the five core principles of traditional preservation practice: lon-gevity, choice, quality, integrity, and access. Explores the concept of digital infor-mation preservation and the efforts made to save a record of our cultural heritage over the past.
