“…The other compounds produced turned the tape binder into a sticky mass, which introduced a high level of errors into the digital system and eventually made the content of the tape completely irretrievable. Technical experts rallied, the process was explained, and a treatment was developed that made the content of the tapes temporarily accessible (Bertram & Cuddihy, 1982;Brown, Lowry, & Smith, 1983, 1984, 1986Cuddihy, 1980). Publications began to include the word preservation in connection with the treatment of data and data carriers, and the audiovisual archiving community began to participate in the research and debate as audio and video tapes succumbed to the same syndrome.…”

This paper investigates what is meant by digital sustainability and establishes that it encompasses a range of issues and concerns that contribute to the longevity of digital information. A significant and integral part of digital sustainability is digital preservation, which has focused on one technical concern after another as issues and fashions have shifted over the last twenty years. Digital sustainability is demonstrated as providing an appropriate context for digital preservation because it requires consideration of the overall life cycle, technical, and socio-technical issues associated with the creation and management of digital items.

This paper presents a methodology for the preservation of audio documents, the operational protocol that acts as the methodology, and an original open source software system that supports and automatizes several tasks along the process. The methodology is presented in the light of the ethical debate that has been challenging the international archival community for the last thirty years. The operational protocol reflects the methodological principles adopted by the authors, and its effectiveness is based on the results obtained in recent research projects involving some of the finest audio archives in Europe. Some recommendations are given for the rerecording process, aimed at minimizing the information loss and at quantifying the unintentional alterations introduced by the technical equipment. Finally, the paper introduces an original software system that guides and supports the preservation staff along the process, reducing the processing timing, automatizing tasks, minimizing errors, and using information hiding strategies to ease the cognitive load. Currently the software system is in use in several international archives.
