Title

Archives in the Digital Age: Preservation and the Right to be Forgotten

Subject

Digital Humanities

Description

Archiving has become an increasingly complex process. While preserving data is a challenge, this has evolved into finding a method to preserve data more efficiently, and make sure that data can keep its authenticity and integrity over a period of time. With this growing need to store data, there has been a surplus in technology that allows individuals to archive their data; many e-mails, for example, have the option to archive any mail in the user’s inbox. This concern to preserve everything, Mkadmi states, also begs another concern: “that of being forgotten”. As more information of an individual becomes public online due to things like social media and resumes, Archives in The Digital Age examines how individuals should have a right to guarantee their privacy and freedom on the internet.
