Abstract
Digitization and digital preservation are rapidly becoming the standard forms of preservation for libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage institutions, yet there is still much confusion as to what they mean and how they are meant to be used.

Different preservation methods, collaboration techniques, and metadata schema are also discussed.
