Executive Summary

Although corporate and legal issues have recently brought data archiving to the light of day, the problems associated with preserving digital information are not new. Archiving for a few years is hard enough, but when requirements dictate that data be retained for longer, problems with media deterioration and technology obsolescence can seem insurmountable. Standards organizations, libraries, and government agencies have all been working to address various aspects of the problem, including how to package information for long-term storage and how to cope with constant technology changes.
