Why preserve physical records? Can they really last for eternity? Here we are in the digital era, yet we can’t escape the fact that we still need to preserve physical records. We need to ensure that we prolong the usable life of records as well as retain their integrity and value.
Several approaches can be used depending on the format of the physical records and how long the records need to be kept. To ensure that this happens we need to understand how to maintain the condition and integrity, have appropriate storage to manage pests and moulds, manage disasters and digitise where appropriate.
