This new edition of Digital Preservation in Libraries, Archives, and
Museums is the most current, complete guide to digital preservation
available today. For administrators and practitioners alike, the
information in this book is presented readably, focusing on management
issues and best practices. Although this book addresses technology, it
is not solely focused on technology. After all, technology changes and
digital preservation is aimed for the long term. This is not a how-to
book giving step-by-step processes for certain materials in a given
kind of system. Instead, it addresses a broad group of resources that
could be housed in any number of digital preservation systems.
Finally, this book is about “things (not technology; not how-to; not
theory) I wish I knew before I got started.” Digital preservation is
concerned with the life cycle of the digital object in a robust and
all-inclusive way. Many Europeans and some North Americans may refer
to digital curation to mean the same thing, taking digital
preservation to be the very limited steps and processes needed to
insure access over the long term. The authors take digital
preservation in the broadest sense of the term: looking at all aspects
of curating and preserving digital content for long term access. The
book is divided into four part: 1.Situating Digital Preservation,
2.Management Aspects, 3.Technology Aspects, and 4.Content-Related
Aspects. Digital Preservation will answer questions that you might not
have even known you had, leading to more successful digital
preservation initiatives.
