Digital Preservation

Digital preservation is the process of maintaining and safeguarding digital information over time so that it remains accessible and usable in the future. This involves using various techniques to protect data from corruption, technological obsolescence, and physical degradation. It includes creating backups, migrating files to current formats, and ensuring that digital materials are stored in a way that makes them easy to retrieve. As more information exists in digital form, preserving it is crucial for accessing knowledge, culture, and history in the future.
