Preservation of information
Two basic tasks• bring documents into repositories• preserve documents

Bringing documents into repositories
Selection vs keeping everything – (administration) archives vs libraries (depot legal)
Sub-issue: the case of audio-, video, and electronic documents hitherto outside professional custody

Preserving documents
The paradox inverse relation between age of document technology and longevity: clay tablets vs digital files
Additional threat for machine readable documents: availability of specific hard and software
Shift from passive to active preservation

The role of digitisation
All kinds of documents• Opening new dimensions of democratic access • Secondary preservation by lifting stress from originals
by use
Audio and video documents• Indispensable measure for long-term preservation by
subsequent migration

Digitisation ≠ (yet) preservation
Generally, text and photographic materials are preserved in their original forms, digital copies are surrogates for access only
Audio and video: digitisation is not the final solution for preservation, but only a first step
Digital files are the most endangered species amongst documents, vulnerable and volatile
Long-term preservation of digital information is a considerable technical, strategic, and financial challenge

Costs of preservation
Classical documents • optimising and maintaining storage conditions• restoration• disaster preparedness

Audio, video and electronic documents
Conversion (“ingest”) to digital repositories (NB: digital documents generally also need some conversion)
Maintaining digital files alive• data integrity checking• migration: automated systems vs manual approaches• hardware and storage media prices plunging• software

Present digital preservation costs:
5-8 $ or € /GB/year
Aim to be reached within short (?) term:
1 $ or € /GB/year

Organisation and financing
Strongly dependant from governmental input – private sponsorship upcoming
Central vs decentralised institutions
Problems of continuity of funding in GIS countries
EU commission supported access, but left preservation to member states
Worldwide: 80% of materials related to cultural and linguistic diversity outside (proper) archival custody

Climatic conditions in southern countries
Permanent struggle against• humidity• temperature • insects and pest• fungus
Low-cost improvement of storage conditions possible
Digitisation potential factor in reducing permanent storage costs
