A revision of the Philosophy of Audiovisual Archiving published by
UNESCO in 1998. This revised and renamed document reflects the
changes that have occurred in the audiovisual archiving field, in the
intervening period, ranging from the challenges of digitization and
technological changes.
Not technical - thoughtful. Especially see Section 5 - Preservation.
Summary: Don't lose the original. Obsolescence of formats, physical
and logical, is constant. All the more reason to avoid encryption and
digital rights management which create even more barriers.
The document may cause you to think of what you have been creating, a
personal archive of your creations. How do you want it preserved? Is
enough ancillary information there? Will it survive?

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too
much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
