Introduction
The "Digital Preservation 101" section provides a gentle introduction to the concepts of preserving your digital information. The guidance is basic and is meant to be a place to get started.
Digital preservation can be defined as the series of managed activities necessary to ensure meaningful continued access, for as long as it is required, to digital objects and materials.
Digital preservation is the set of processes and activities that ensures long-term, sustained storage of, access to and interpretation of digital information. Curation is an applied form of preservation that focuses on interpretation and is often (though not exclusively) used in relation to working with scientific datasets. The ultimate objective of all digital preservation activity is to keep valuable and useful digital material (increasingly online) available for future generations of scholars, researchers and other user groups.
