Abstract

The digital objects that are so fundamental to 21st century life may have a precarious future due to the rapid pace of technological change. Digital preservation specialists have proposed an almost overwhelming variety of preservation actions and tools that may help to mitigate this risk, but there is a lack of empirical evidence to help librarians, archivists and non-specialists to make an informed decision about the most applicable and effective preservation tools. The Planets project has developed a digital preservation Testbed that aims to provide such an evidence-base.
