In the mid 1990s UK digital preservation activity concentrated on ensuring the survival of digital material – spurred on by the US report Preserving Digital Information (The Task Force on Archiving of Digital Information, 1996) and developed through JISC-funded activities.

The age of centralized information production is over. Today, countless creative enterprises involve decentralized collaboration by hundreds of end-users.
