Dear Caroline Thanks for this. I am interested in preservation as a special case of "the value of information". For this I would find it helpful to know how you prioritise what to preserve: if you had 100 objects for example and could preserve only 10, how would you decide which ones to preserve? I'd be interested to know if there is any general methodology. (If not, I could suggest one!)
