Many digital objects have a lasting value and significance. As an important part of our cultural heritage they need to be collected and preserved for current and future generations of researchers. In the analogue world we have established criteria for selection, standardized technologies and well defined responsibilities for preservation. In the digital world, responsibilities, technology and selection have to be redefined and established. There is an urgent need to do this, because digital obje... read more

The National Library of Australia collects, archives and provides access to a wide range of digital materials, including items from its image, map, manuscript and audio digitisation programmes, as well as significant Australian online resources harvested from the Web. The Library seeks to provide a safe place for the storage, management, preservation and delivery of its digital collections and has developed a layered digital services architecture to support these aims.
This paper provides an ove... read more

One of the versatile tasks of the project nestor is to develop guidelines for the long-term preservation of digital objects in Germany and to propose national preservation strategies. A national preservation policy forms the framework for the efforts within the long-term preservation and thus determines intentions, aims and responsibilities. A possible preservation policy needs to consider a range of different factors, as e.g.
- the federal structure in Germany and thus the relation between the ... read more

The Internet, as the fourth information medium, has gradually been accepted by the Chinese people. With Web information increases dramatically day by day, the National Library of China, as a deposit library, began its study on how to preserve Chinese Web information in 2003. This presentation mainly introduces what the National Library of China has done on:
a) preservation of Web information, including preservation objects selection, technology solutions, working model, and the working process,

China is facing urgent needs for collaborative digital preservation strategies. The situation is more acute for foreign STM materials critical to key research and educational institutes, because, on one hand, in all of those institutes, STM e-journals becomes the major part of their library resources and represents the main streams of use, on the other hand, few of them have developed strategies and plans for long-term preservation and fewer have placed these efforts in a nationally coordinated ... read more

All we know about predicting our digital future is based on our past, a review of which reveals a remarkable truth dating from the beginning of the digital era: plain text is a versatile and lossless format that is just as readable with today's computers as it was 30 years ago. Compared to the fonts, colors, point sizes, and graphics available in contemporary formats, plain text may look dull and dry, but in fact this "desiccated data" successfully represents all the protocols that built the Int... read more

Publications were traditionally distributed in the form of print media, but with the advent of global electronic networks many are now being disseminated as digital documents. This evolutionary shift significantly changes the task profile of libraries and especially concerns archive libraries, which are entrusted with the preservation of a nation's cultural heritage. As libraries expand their scope to accommodate digital objects, they can no longer resort to established methods for archiving pri... read more

The web is a virtually infinite information space, and archiving its entirety, all its aspects, is a Utopia. The amount of information presents a challenge, but it is neither the only, nor the most limiting one given the continuous drop in storage device costs. Significant challenges lie in the management and technical issues of the location and collection of web sites. They will be briefly presented.
Because of this, archiving the web is a task that no single institution can fulfil alone. It re... read more

In 2003 the digital archiving system of the National Library of the Netherlands (KB) was taken into production. This system is called the e-Depot and its technical heart is the IBM system called Digital Information Archiving System (DIAS). The KB e-Depot is dedicated to the long-term storage of and access to large quantities of digital publications. Currently, the system has ingested several millions of digital objects. This presentation will explicate how the way we have organized the workflow ... read more
