The Library of Congress maintains a digital preservation blog
called The Signal. This book contains a series of reformatted posts
from that blog on the subject of personal digital archiving.
Specifically, the topics include guidance for such things as
choosing file formats and adding descriptions to digital
photographs; first-hand accounts of working with and preserving
personal collections; descriptions of outreach activities and
interviews with library professionals on the subject of personal
digital archiving, and many others. Photo albums, letters, home
movies and paper documents are a vital link to the past. Personal
information we create today has the same value. The only difference
is that much of it is now digital. Preserving digital information
is a new concept that most people have little experience with. This
book provides knowledge and tips to ensure that digital materials
last a lifetime by taking steps to preserve them.
