Digital Heritage, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, (UNESCO)
This site discusses the importance of digital technology to cultural heritage, particularly in terms of born-digital content. It provides a link describing the concept of digital heritage that includes a definition. Another link emphasizes that digital resources are subject to technological obsolescence and, like all artifacts, physical deterioration, and, therefore, digital preservation is necessary. Strategies for maintaining and preserving digital resources are also described. A third link describes the Digital Preservation Programme of UNESCO.
