Abstract
Preservation, the safeguarding of collections for the future, is a key area of convergence for libraries, archives, museums and other memory institutions. This applies to the preservation of ‘traditional’ physical collections as well as to preservation in the new digital world. Preservation management is essentially a ‘way of seeing,’ providing the framework that underpins and guides the different strategies for safeguarding collections. Using the metaphor of connected ‘painted lines’, this paper explores how the principle of an interconnected ‘way of seeing’ can potentially shape practical and effective preservation strategies that traverse the digital and physical worlds.
