documentation and preservation

Documentation involves creating detailed records of objects, events, or information, capturing their details for future reference. Preservation refers to the methods used to protect and maintain these records, artifacts, or documents over time, preventing deterioration or damage. Together, they ensure that valuable information or items are accurately recorded and kept in good condition for future study, sharing, or display. This process is essential in fields like history, science, and archiving to maintain the integrity and accessibility of important resources.
