Why Preservation?

Keeping digital content usable is a complex & ONGOING process:

STORAGE IS NOT FOOLPROOF
Preservation is more than just storage — hard drives crash, and files can be destroyed, lost or hacked.

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER Digital bits degrade and become unusable over time.

DISCONTINUED… Formats and software are vulnerable to obsolescence, putting future access to digital content at risk.

According to the American Library Association:
“Digital preservation combines policies, strategies and actions to ensure the accurate rendering of authenticated content over time, regardless of the challenges of media failure and technological change. Digital preservation applies to both born digital and reformatted content.” – ALA
