[edit] Theory of Preservation

Preservation can be thought of as communication with the future. Information that is understood today is transmitted to an unknown system in the future where it will be interpreted and displayed. The future system may have not only different hardware and software, but also different standards for encoding information. Effectively, we need to send into the future not only the information (records), but also a description of the environment that is being used to manage and read those records.
