Example Questions

votes newest recent

Digital Preservation: If I want to be sure that the digital photographs that I am taking are available in 20 years, what steps should I take? 50 years? 100 years?

Digital Preservation: Under what circumstances does it makes sense to destroy a physical original that has been digitized? Can a physical object ever be “fully digitized”?

Digital Preservation: Should the possibility of unrecoverable bit rot in storing huge digital collections be anticipated, or can perfect bit preservation be safely assumed?

Digital Preservation: Since encryption is vulnerable to long-term attacks (and increases in compute power), can files that are not physically isolated be kept private?

Digital Preservation: What guarantees (SLA) should be required of cloud storage operators in order to use their services in preservation, and how can they be verified?
