Selection for Preservation in the Digital Age

Abstract

In this article, I address three sets of issues. First, is digital conversion a preservation technique or is selection for digitization fundamentally an issue of access? Second, how does the process of selection for digitization differ from selection for traditional preservation activities? What selection criteria apply? Finally, what effect might digitization have on preservation as a field?
