Overview
Librarians will find this a useful resource for its guidelines on how to safely store materials that include paper, digital information, and sound recordings. Digital preservation and management are described in three separate chapters, written by librarians at the U. of Helsinki, Finland, the National Library of Australia, and Loughborough U. in the UK. Feather (library and information studies, Loughborough U.) has contributed an introduction outlining preservation principles and policies. A chapter by Marie-Thérèse Varlamoff (curator general, Bibliothèque Nationale de France) describes future trends; Graham Matthews (computing, information and English, U. of Central England, Birmingham) offers a lengthy chapter on the sources of information for digital preservation management.
