  • Abstract
    Born-digital cultural heritage faces the challenge of vanishing away rapidly. In this paper, the issues surrounding the preservation of born-digital cultural heritage are described and explored, and preservation strategies for born-digital cultural heritage are recommended based on the UNESCO´s Charter for the Preservation of Digital Heritage. The authors believe that a major focus of digital preservation efforts should be the preservation of born-digital heritage materials.
