3. Documenting Born Digital Creative and Scholarly Works for Access and Preservation

   To preserve digital works three modes have traditionally been employed: migration from an older format into a newer one (e.g. CD-ROM to flash drive), emulation of guest system on a host system (e.g. system built on Apple GW-BASIC but changed to one built on C++), and collection––retaining vintage hardware and software for accessing the original formats. Curators like Christiane Paul have advocated for migration and emulation for ease of maintenance and economic reasons, but Digital Humanities scholars like Alan Liu, Nick Montfort, Noah Waldrip-Fruin and others, have highlighted the need for preserving the human experience and cultural history through collection. The problem left unsolved, however, was how to broaden collection so that 1) libraries and museums do not need to maintain the large number of required hardware and software needed for accessing digital works, and 2) audiences do not have to travel to specialized labs to experience the works. The “Pathfinders Project” sought to answer these challenges of collection with its documentation methodology.
