Information technology has led to that much of the information that earlier was produced on pa-per is now being produced in electronic form. The e-government services, where the whole idea is to exchange information electronically, will radically redirect paperbound information towards electronically generated and managed information and documents. Earlier on long-term preserva-tion was all about paper-bound documents containing content, context and format as well as the legal issues concerning the document, such as signatures and stamps. Although paper-bound documents still are of frequent use, the degree of digital information rapidly increases. Digital information is often compiled from different databases, where content, context, format and signa-tures can be separated and put together differently. The challenges associated with digital preser-vation are strategic, organizational and structural as well as technological. The aim of this paper is to present some challenges associated with digital preservation.
