A Guide to Distributed Digital Preservation

This volume is devoted to the broad topic of distributed digital preservation, a still-emerging field of practice for the cultural memory arena.

Institutions need practical examples of how this task can be accomplished in manageable, low-cost ways."--P. [4] of cover
