The Digital Dilemma: Strategic Issues In Archiving And Accessing Digital Motion Picture Materials
Web Archiving
“The Digital Dilemma: Strategic Issues in Archiving and Accessing Digital Motion Picture Materials” by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is a work of text consisting of 84 pages. It was published in the year 2007 as an open source English text. This item is different from the previous ones we have added to the digital archive because it analyzes the issues and discrepancies that come with preserving digital motion picture archiving. The text goes into great detail on what portions changed step by step and how they are changed when going through the process of archiving this form of media. This is a valuable item to add into the archive because it focuses on the archiving film which is an entirely different process than archiving other forms of media. When it comes to archiving this type of media, there are a lot of extra portions that need extra assurance that they are done
correctly because if done incorrectly different aspects of the media can be corrupted and damaged. For example, the media can be transferred correctly through video, but the audio can be damaged.

The State of Digital Preservation: An International Perspective
Curation
“The State of Digital Preservation: An International Perspective: An international Perspective. Conference Proceedings is defined as a “collective of papers” published and released April 24th, 2002. These collective papers of text have many contributors coming from different backgrounds and countries. These leading experts come from the United States, the Netherlands, and Australia. They go into describing their different methods and processes that they go through in digital preservation. This is extremely valuable because leading experts from different parts of the globe practice different processes. This is an important set of text for readers to learn from because in order to grow as students we must be introduced to all types of methods in order to decide which ones would be most efficient and the proper way depending on the specific project the readers will be working on.

Conserving for the Future by Archiving Our Past: A Story about Technology and Digitization Informed
Collective Memory
“Conserving for the Future by Archiving Our Past; A Story about Technology and Digitization Informed by a Vintage Paperback Book Collection” written by and released by Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). This 16 page pamphlet discusses the period of change that happens when taking information and digitizing it for digital archiving. Many pieces of informational texts just talk about the before and after, but do not go into how this impacts society once everything is said and done and through the process of taking such classic works and placing them for digital works for the world to see.It discusses what happens to those bits and pieces of information once they have gone through the processes and are uploaded in their designated servers. It mostly focuses on the negative impacts that this may have, stating that the original “essence” of such works can be lost when transformed into a digital version. It takes a very informational topic and creates a sense of empathy for our previous works. This would be a very valuable addition to the archive because it brings in a very neglected point of view that is not considered much in the modern day and age of technology. Students need to be informed of the potential losses that may come when doing a action that may be simplifying our lives, but also losing the effects of nostalgia that come within such works. The true purpose of these works are questioned as to being lost or misused when turned into digital versions.

Going Digital: Electronic Images in the Library Catalog and Beyond
“Going digital: electronic images in the library catalog and beyond” is a book published all the way in 1995. In this year was when practical consumers began using the internet and saving their own data into their personal hard drives. It was written by archiving consultants Ronald R Abbott and Mimi King. It is not available in a printing format, but it can be accessed virtually as a digitized novel. It is 81 pages and originally written and solely released in English. The fact that the book is no longer allowed in paper back is very important because if it had not been digitized and archived it would no longer be able to read and would be an immense waste of such valuable information. Considering that the book was released in the late 90’s before many websites were updating digitized information, it shows how much the efficiency of digital archiving has changed much over time. The book explains the importance of beginning to archive not only written data, but visual data as well. This book would be an important addition to the website because it goes back to the basics and foundations of digital archiving through images. The text was extremely popular to teach students in the early 90’s at the University of Toronto in Canada.

Long term preservation of digital documents
Curation
“The Long term preservation of digital documents” is a book published in the year 2015. It was originally written in German but was eventually translated to English to reach a wider array of audiences. It is categorized as a digital preservation of electronic information resources. It includes sixty-two figures and thirty-two tablets with a list of informational bibliography references used within the book. The purpose of the novel is to understand and explain the importance of preserving digitized information and what are the best resources and methods to efficiently do so correctly. The book is set up in a textbook format divided by prefaces of specific subject headings followed by chapters that break down the individual information. This is a valuable addition to the archiving website because the importance of archiving digital documents is getting less and less relevant over time as generations are becoming less informed on the proper way to reserve documents and media. The textbook does have a lot of information and therefore has to be divided into concise paragraphs using small fonts. Thankfully, it is available for download in different formats helping readers to individually decide in what type of format would be most comfortable for them to read the given information.

Principles for Digital Preservation
Preservation
Published in the 49th issue of Communications of the ACM, H. M. Gladney’s article “Principles for Digital Preservation” discusses the ins and outs of preservation in regard to digital archiving. Gladney speaks on the challenges faced in preservation as well as the different solutions archivists have found to counter those challenges. The article also explains the struggle of authenticity when dealing with digitally preserved items. This leads to an explanation of the Trustworthy Digital Object (TDO) methodology, which is one method used to combat this issue of authenticity. The overview of TDO gives readers an insight on the many steps archivists take to ensure an item is original. These steps may include certification, inspection of metadata, and a much more. Gladney’s goal in this article is to raise the importance of TDO and proper usage of its method.

Digital Preservation Handbook
Digital Humanities
The purpose of the Digital Preservation Handbook is to guide scholars, archivists and communities on the importance of preserving their digital materials that they have collected. The handbook is online, so it is accessible to everyone who is seeking introduction to preservation and the purpose it holds for preserving digital sources. It focuses on the rapid increase of digital forms that are being published on the daily and the handbook is bringing awareness to these digital materials. The Handbook is a guide set for the long term in maintaining, creating and investing digital materials. Sources are complicated data and need to be handled with a lot of thought and patience. The Handbook explores preservation’s major topics and issues, and it helps others come up with strategic options on handling these problems. It is also important to know how to handle the practical tools in the process of preservation so there are no challenges faced.
Digital materials is a growing aspect in our culture, knowledge and economy that preserving information will benefit future generations. If there are no guides to help current digital communities on the importance of preservation, then future digital communities will fault in handling and preserving material.

The Future of History: Investigating the Preservation of Information in the Digital Age
Curation
The following article goes into detail regarding a study that was conducted to “the challenges of preserving information in the digital age, and explores how this may affect the future of historical knowledge.” The study itself is the result of “a series of semi-structured interviews with forty-one historians, archivists, librarians, and web researchers.” That said, it is important to keep in mind that the results as whole argue against historical records having association with the term ‘digital black hole’ in both connotative and denotative meanings. Instead, its focus should center on “the importance of the issue for the future of history, and the complexity of the solutions to be adopted.” Especially in regard to education, planning, as well as the cooperation between historians and the information professions. For instance, many of the issues revolve around things like certain hardware and software being out of date and current law(s) make it very hard for memory institutions to not only capture but preserve digital material. Then there’s the preexisting legal framework which does not reflect the “digital age”. Not to mention, challenges within social and cultural domains. That’s why trying to figure out the answer to questions like “What can be done today to ensure future historians will have access to a rich historical record so they can tell the story of our time to future generations?"
