Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the challenges of preserving digital information assets over generations of information technology in a way that makes them discoverable, retrievable, and useful for a variety of purposes, including purposes that are independent of the aims that motivated the production of the assets. While most attention to date has focused on the systems, services, and institutions that do or might preserve digital information, this analysis explores the perspective of the consumers who wish to use digitally preserved assets.
