Introduction

The 2015 National Agenda for Digital Stewardship highlights emerging trends, identifies gaps in digital stewardship activity and provides funders and decision-makers with insight into the work needed to ensure that today's valuable digital content remains accessible and comprehensible in the future, supporting a thriving economy, a robust democracy and a rich cultural heritage.

The 2015 Agenda is the result of many months of individual effort and dedicated institutional support from across the NDSA community; and was improved by hundreds of review comments coming not only from NDSA members but also from many reviewers in the national and international preservation community.
