Digital Preservation Reference Node

In the information and digital preservation field, one of the most disheartening things to happen is loss of important records. This can be due to antiquated technology, information not being moved to other systems or stored, or a simple mechanical mishap. This is where having standards for records help as establishing standards, digital archiving, data migration, and data replication/mirroring can maintain important records. In fact even if records/information is lost it can be recovered through salvaging and stabilization methods.

It started off as a concept based on epistemological use in different languages and practices that define the original word of information to mean support or educate. From that, information begins to become a science based on historical innovations that create practices for it and expands its use.
