"This book is essential reading for anyone just starting out in digital preservation or who could use a refresher on a variety of topics. Readers will benefit from the in-depth and accessible approach to even the most complex topics, as great care was taken to provide appropriate background for any reader. This is an ideal read for information professionals working in a variety of information agencies." -- Bradley Wade Bishop, Professor, University of Tennessee, USA "I have acquired every edition of this book since its initial publication, and I am pleased to add this latest version to my bookshelf. The authors have once again produced a rigorous, timely, and comprehensive resource that reflects the ongoing evolution of digital preservation practice. Notable additions in this edition include a thoughtful discussion of the recently released CHARM Risk Reference Model as well as a crucial new chapter addressing the intersection of environmental sustainability and digital preservation, which is an increasingly urgent area of concern for the field. I am particularly appreciative of the "Debunking Digital Preservation Myths" section that opens the volume. As any practitioner knows, these myths are widespread in adjacent fields and seeing them clearly laid out and dispelled is both validating and useful.

The book succeeds not only in demystifying persistent misunderstandings but also in grounding digital preservation within a sound framework for professional practice and organizational management. Overall, this edition stands as both an excellent primer for those new to digital preservation and an authoritative, up-to-date synthesis that experienced professionals will find invaluable as a reference and guide." --Sibyl Schaefer, Climate Data and Digital Preservation Librarian, UC San Diego, USA "Corrado, Moulaison-Sandy, and Soleau's most recent edition of Digital Preservation for Libraries, Archives, and Museums offers an updated and refreshed take on one of the most persistent challenges of archives. By combining the foundations of archiving and information science with emerging trends in born-digital archiving and automation, this book serves as both a reliable reference for practitioners and a primer for students entering the field of digital preservation and curation. The authors' expertise shines through their ability to draw upon rich examples across institutions and communities of practice, each supported by both tangible guidance and theoretical implications. However, the most valuable advice that this book provides is that the practice of digital preservation is constantly adapting. Acknowledging this, the authors speak candidly about how much one learns through hands-on experience with the work and through dialogue with peers across the library, archives, and museums landscape, and this book serves as a bridge to connect those networks and guide others on how to begin the conversation." --Travis L.
