What I would like to discuss this morning are the general steps that should be considered by all institutions in seeking to preserve the information stored on electronic or optical media and then to briefly summarize the preservation requirements for the media currently in wide use. What do we mean when we say we are preserving information? How long will a product, a document or the information be preserved? I believe in many cases, there are underlying assumptions by the various groups that employ terms such as "archiving data" that are not necessarily shared by the larger community.
It is the purpose of this paper to discuss how general preservation practices can and should be applied to electronic media and to suggest that for many institutions or organizations there is a need to carefully consider how long the information currently stored in an electronic format will be retained by that institution. That decision will influence the media used to store the information electronically.
This is a paper presented at IASSIST 93 in Edinburgh.
