Digital media preservation

Digital media preservation is the process of safeguarding digital files, such as videos, photos, documents, and software, so they remain accessible and usable over time. Since digital formats and storage media can degrade or become outdated, preservation involves regularly migrating data to current formats, maintaining proper storage conditions, and documenting technical details. This ensures that future generations can access, understand, and enjoy digital content, much like preserving physical archives but adapted for digital technology's unique challenges.
