Drawing on the author’s extensive experience working in the field, the book effectively highlights the challenges involved in preserving the vast number of born-digital photographs and emphasizes how urgent the need to democratize long-term preservation is. Delving into the technology surrounding the preservation of born-digital collections, the book enables the reader to obtain the necessary knowledge of theory and practice to immerse themselves and make a significant impact in preserving born-digital photography.
