Digital Preservation 101, or, How to Keep Bits for Centuries. Julie C. Swierczek. scholar.harvard.edu website. June 4, 2015.
An interesting presentation that looks at what digital archivists need to preserve electronic records permanently. It discusses:
  • OAIS model for long-term digital preservation;
  • requirements of a trustworthy digital repository;
  • preferred file formats for long-term storage; 
  • digital forensics and FRED machines;
  • definitions and differences of “archives” and “backup copies”.
