Summary:

This book targets a broad audience from widespread disciplines with a common interest, namely the interest in a long-term archival storage, and with a common fear, namely the fear of a future where the digital heritage is lost. After having read the book, the readers will be provided with enough arguments (a) to understand that now is the time to act, (b) to feel where current development is, and (c) to have a presentiment of where the research is going. The book addresses the problem of preserving digital data for periods in excess of 50 years; hereinafter called "long term." The book is divided in two parts. The first part comprises seven chapters where the methodological overview is presented. The second part consists of four chapters where relevant national and international projects are discussed.
