Collaborative Efforts to Preserve Born-Digital Architectural Records: A Case Study Documenting Present-Day Practice
Title
Collaborative Efforts to Preserve Born-Digital Architectural Records: A Case Study Documenting Present-Day Practice
Subject
Digital humanities
Description
Architecture firms have used computers as an integral part of the design process for the past thirty to forty years, but born-digital architectural records are only now being donated to repositories for preservation. This article reviews the literature documenting efforts to preserve digital architecture records and examines the role information professionals might play in collecting these records. Present-day architectural practice is described, and a collaborative effort with an architectural firm is undertaken to facilitate decisions about the preservation of records that best document the legacy of their architectural practice.
