The limitations data redundancy imposes on digital preservation are two-fold. The second way technology limits digital preservation is more complex—it concerns error rates of preservation operation: An archival institution must be able to access a digital object to preserve it. If an archival institution cannot access a digital object quickly or frequently enough, the archival institutions will venture to preserve digital objects without legal protection for doing so. mediation of the selective model limits the scale of what can be preserved, as objects can only be conclusion is that costs are digital preservation's most pervasive limitation. ./cache/2167.pdf ./txt/2167.txt
