Library Mission

How can we preserve for the future?

The artifacts that tell the stories of our lives reside on personal computers or web sites, in emails or on digital photo and film cards

Risk of loss should motivate preservation

Technology has so changed our world that most of what we now create begins life in a digital format

Backups versus Digital Preservation

Why do we differentiate backups from digital preservation program?

“disaster recovery strategies and backup systems are NOT sufficient to ensure survival and access to authenticdigital resources over time. A backup is short-term data recovery solution following loss or corruption and is fundamentally different to an electronic preservation archive”

Backing up data is NOT a comprehensive solution to the problem of preserving information over time

Backups versus Digital Preservation

What are the goals of thinking hundred’s of years ahead?

Digital preservation:

Today’s sholarly content… secured for tomorrow

A true digital preservation program will require multi-institutional collaboration at international and national level

It also requires the creation and maintenance of preservation policies that guide long-term curation of digital collections

Finally, some significant investment is needed, too

A final word from one of our sponsors…

“Let us save what remains: not by vaults and locks which fence

them from the public eye and use in consigning them to the

waste of time, but by such a multiplication of copies, as shall

place them beyond the reach of accident.”

(Thomas Jefferson, February 18, 1791)
