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 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.
