Digital Preservation 2020

The digital “containers” of today’s information have short life spans, so what happens to the information they hold when they become obsolete and non-existent? How can that
information be used for the future? How can it be accessed? We face a digital dark age, here information is inaccessible and locked within a technology that’s obsolete or dead.

Many thousands of digital records are created everyday, on technologies that may or may not even exist in the future. Regardless of how important or valuable information is, it’s useless if it’s unable to be accessed. The digital “containers” of today’s information have short life spans, so what happens to the information they hold when they become obsolete and non-existent? How can that information be used for the future? How can it be accessed? We face a digital dark age, where information is inaccessible and locked within a technology that’s obsolete or dead.

Where is technology heading? How can information be better maintained and managed for future use? Who needs to be involved in maintaining this information?
