Abstract
In this paper I will tell you about some research and strategic projects, some of them at the end of their time and some just started. Although digitisation seems to have been a major topic in archives and libraries since the mid 1990s the vast majority of the collections are still based on traditional, i.e. analogue, media. The preservation problems much discussed prior to this still exist and still present some major hazards. What differs today from yesterday is that the technological progress has given us new means within reasonable costs to perform research and develop new tools as well as improve the monitoring of decay.

Summary
In this paper I will tell you about some research and strategic projects, some of them at the end of their time and some just started. How to preserve digital image files - commonly known as digital images - is a major issue these days as the problems and costs become more and more evident. This field of media has a lot of economic potential as well as it is an open field for new inventions. The need for an interface of some sort - both hardware and software - between the information and the beholder, makes these issues extremely difficult to tackle All these issues will continue to initiate research as well as results.
