Abstract
Transition form print format to electronic format has given rise to various issues in preserving
the digital form. The problem of preservation is further complicated by the rapid
obsolescence of the hardware and software required to interpret and present digital
documents. The paper highlights on necessity in preserving the digital form, strategies
related to preservation, technologies and guidelines for digital preservations. Rapid
technological obsolescence combined with relatively short-lived media means that
collection and preservation is a must in a digital era.
