Dear Frances,
This is about the preservation of digital libraries, and will cover all the processes to do with migrating and/or emulating file formats and file rendering software to ensure that future generations can still open and view the content, even if the original file formats, and the original applications for creating and viewing the files are no longer supported in future. Such files and file collections can be digitized special collections, or content in institutional repositories, research data, final research outputs - in fact anything digital.
There is a lot more to it than the above though. We'd be happy to explain more either via this list, or at our event next week,
Kind regards,
Robert

Is this to preserve the libraries themselves, as well?
