Born-digital archival science

Born-digital archival science involves the study and practice of preserving digital content that originates in digital form, such as emails, websites, social media, and digital documents, from the moment they are created. Unlike traditional archives that handled physical items, born-digital archives focus on ensuring long-term access, authenticity, and integrity of digital materials. This field addresses challenges like data formats, storage technology, and digital obsolescence, using specialized methods to organize, preserve, and provide access to digital information for future research and reference.
