Digital information is inherently impermanent due to its dependence on rapidly changing technology. This subject will look closely at the preservation of digital objects - whether created via a digitisation program or for 'born digital' materials. It will provide an overview of digital preservation, including it history, concepts, challenges, politics, ethics and strategies and inform students of the various standards and practices being adopted around the world.
