The creation of a Wide Area Archive & Library (WAAL)

The creation of a Wide Area Archive & Library (WAAL)

The archive & library consists of digital documents representing all kinds of information from text (in the first stages of the project) to images and sound (in the future). The reason for constituting a WAAL is that, although the production and proliferation of electronic documents has been astronomic, there has very little been done for long term preservation of this kind of information.
