Abstract
This paper considers information preservation from two main perspectives. The first one is technological and the other is legal. From the technological side, advances in computer and information technology helped to increase the volume of information tremendously, and the means of dissemination through networking is also becoming widespread. Multimedia information is also creating a storage environment in which the software needed for viewing and browsing is becoming an integral part of the stored information. Advances in optical storage are reviewed in this paper with emphasis on their archival lifetime. Legal aspects were also considered, starting with the production and transcription phases. In this phase, appropriate attention should be given to the credibility of information. Some form of notarization may be used at both the national and international levels. With respect to the dissemination and usage phase, issues regarding the intellectual copyright issues are considered, particularly for multimedia information.
