From the Editor-in-Chief: Introduction

摘要

Preservation addresses broad cultural and philosophical and more specific concerns. This issue covers the ground: preserving electronic dissertations, using mobile devices to enhance remembrance, exploring the phenomenon of tech nostalgia, and understanding aesthetics and information visualization. An interview with Kevin Ashley, Director of the Digital Curation Centre, and a report about a new British and German educational initiative written by Mark Hedges of King's College London touch on the contexts in which digital curators now work. The issue is rounded out by the regular "Currents and Comments" section, a feature since the first issue of this journal in 1972.
