Factores económicos de la preservación documental digital : actualización 2021

Abstract

The massive increase in digital information worldwide implies that a large part of it must be adequately preserved by libraries, archives, repositories and other organizations. Adequate digital document preservation –among other factors– entails costs not always fully perceived by the managers of organizations and those responsible for preservation. Despite the fact that many studies have been carried out on the subject over time, the changing technological environment, the advent of specialized services in the cloud, etc., have modified the budgeting parameters, and therefore require that cost calculation of preservation should be analyzed in the light of new elements and emerging contexts in order to review the knowledge on the subject and thus update the costing techniques for digital document preservation.
