Abstract
The members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) hold a stunning array of cultural and information resources, diverse in both content and form. In building these collections, ARL libraries strive to enable current scholarship and anticipate the needs of future generations of scholars. With this long view of the world of learning, research libraries hold preservation as a fundamental role and responsibility. Grand in concept, preservation is accomplished through practical decisions and technical processes that reflect not only the ideals of academia but also the changing realities of current technology, financial resources, and the information marketplace.
