It considers the new challenges posed, and some of the ways in which they are being met. Physical threats to records include technology obsolescence and physical deterioration of media. But a more fundamental issue that archivists and records managers have had to face is to reconsider what it is that constitutes a genuine 'record'. Only then can policies be put in place to ensure that they are preserved for as long as they are needed.
