"Digital technologies create new opportunities for making archival resources available but also bring new challenges for the memory institutions to handle. To understand the underlying driving forces in this process and their consequences is crucial. The content of this book addresses all involved in digital culture and scientific heritage: professionals like archivists, librarians and museum curators, scholars in the humanities, students and – most important – policy makers."
- Borje Justrell, former Director, National Archives of Sweden
"This collection of writings about digital archives, mainly focusing on access, looks at a variety of objects of preservation along their lifecycle and from the perspective of different disciplines, institutions, roles and purposes. It takes the reader outside several boxes, but will let you step comfortably back into the one/s you identify as your own. A challenging book for challenging times, one you should read to question or confirm, to be surprised or recognize, to learn other ways of looking at things."
- Luciana Duranti, Professor of Archival Studies, The University of British Columbia
