Formed in 2007, the Task Force was an international group convened to examine the issue of economic sustainability in a digital preservation context. Membership included experts from across the digital preservation community, including the public sector, the private sector, cultural heritage, and academia, and reflected a range of expertise, including librarians, archivists, computer scientists, and economists.
The Task Force produced two substantial reports which, provide:
the first comprehensive study of the economics of digital preservation;
a clear definition of the conditions that must be met to achieve economic sustainability in a digital preservation context;
practical, actionable recommendations for achieving economic sustainability, based on detailed analysis of both the economic environment in which preservation decision-making takes place, and the attributes of digital preservation as an economic activity;
a list of priorities for near-term action;
a strong foundation to catalyze additional work on economically sustainable digital preservation."
