Editors’ Choice: A Digital Dark Now? : Digital Information Loss at Three Archives in Sweden

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine digital information loss at three Swedish archives. Digital preservation is a complex issue and something most archival institutions struggle with today. While there is merit in focussing on successes in this struggle, doing so to the exclusion of failures runs the risk of creating a blind spot for existing problems. We hope that this study will contribute to an open and productive conversation about digital preservation and how it can be improved.
