Abstract

This paper presents a case of analysis and preservation of a digital archive. The attributes characterizing the archive at hand led to the development of the concept of natural electronic archives that would allow transforming the archive into a unit of analysis. The results of the analysis directed the design of a preservation strategy aimed at maintaining evidence of the archive's formation process and documentation of the technologies involved.
