===========
The Electronic Libraries programme (eLib) publication of the digital
preservation study undertaken by the AHDS Executive on behalf of the
Digital Archiving Working Party of the UK's Joint Information Systems
Committee, British Library, and National Preservation Office is now
available. The study outlines a strategic policy framework for creating and
preserving digital collections and recommends good practice to those
involved in the creation, management, or long-term preservation of digital
information which will form our cultural and intellectual heritage in the
"digital age". Included in the report are six case studies based on a
series of fifteen interviews with organizations and individuals involved in
major data creation projects and digital preservation worldwide.
High Praise for this Report:
"The study presents thirteen recommendations in the areas of long-term
digital preservation, standards, the policy framework, and future research.
Six case studies highlight some of the real-life considerations concerning
digital preservation. At a time when content providers and libraries are
racing headlong toward digitization of information resources, this study
provides critical guidance."
Scout Report, Volume 5, Number 2, 8 May 1998
"This study...has received international recognition and will almost
certainly continue to be a key strategic document for those concerned with
preserving digital materials"
