Preserving the digital heritage Principles and policies (Unesco & ECPA)
Interesting paper
containing an article by David Bearman:
introducing with a statement and questions:
"I see four fundamental problems in our current situation: selection results in collection; digital preservation results in representations that favour aspects of the original perceived as critical within the different traditions of libraries, archives and museums; authenticity is being sacrificed by the timing of selection decisions;
and the entire enterprise is currently organized in an uneconomical, inefficient
and ineffective way. After exploring these dysfunctions, I propose a series of systemic solutions that I believe we must pursue to solve them." (p.26)
