The Software Preservation Network

The Software Preservation Network (SPN) is an organization dedicated to keeping digital software accessible and usable over time. As technology evolves, many valuable software programs risk becoming unusable or lost. SPN collaborates with libraries, museums, and researchers to develop strategies, tools, and best practices for preserving software so future generations can study, learn from, and enjoy digital culture. Essentially, it ensures that important software doesn't disappear with outdated hardware or formats, maintaining digital heritage for ongoing access and research.
