English abstract

The idea of long term preservation of electronic records has been present since the early days of the computer revolution. However, there have been few documented experiences of creating digital archives, mainly due to the difficulty of finding technical solutions to the problems of obsolescence, high costs and a lack of institutions able to assume this responsibility. This paper begins by analysing the preservation strategies applied to date and reflecting upon the methodological underpinnings of these strategies, current trends and future viability. Next it presents two options for identifying electronic records and defining their limits, a necessary step prior to applying any preservation strategy. Finally it describes how archival appraisal can facilitate this identification process and proposes appraisal schedules as the main tools for defining an electronic records preservation policy.

Spanish abstract

La voluntad de conservar de forma permanente los documentos digitales ha estado presente desde los primeros tiempos de la revolución informática. Sin embargo, han sido pocas las experiencias de crear archivos digitales, debido principalmente a la dificultad para encontrar soluciones técnicas a los problemas de obsolescencia, al alto coste económico y a la ausencia de instituciones que asuman esta responsabilidad. Este artículo analiza las estrategias de conservación aplicadas hasta el momento, y reflexiona sobre los planteamientos metodológicos que han inspirado las mismas, las tendencias actuales y su viabilidad futura. A continuación expone las dos opciones para identificar el documento digital y establecer sus límites, operación previa a la aplicación de cualquier estrategia de conservación. Finalmente describe cómo se puede facilitar esta identificación aplicando metodologías de evaluación y selección propias de la archivística, y propone las reglas de evaluación documental como la herramienta fundamental que permite definir una política de conservación de los documentos digitales.
