This reminded me of a recent topic of discussion on this list:
Preserving Access to Digital Information [pdf]
http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/
The growing concern over how best to preserve information in digital form
continues to be of special interest to a number of federal library systems
around the world, and the National Library of Australia is no exception. On
its Preserving Access to Digital Information homepage, interested parties
will find a very diverse set of materials related to these challenges, and
a fairly broad set of topics are also covered here, including digital
libraries, data documentation, digitization, and content management.
Clicking on any of these topics from the homepage reveals a brief topical
essay, which is followed by a number of timely articles culled from various
sources for general consideration. The site also offers a number of
annotated resource lists which include coverage of glossaries, digital
projects, and electronic mailing lists of note.
