The Basics of Digital Archiving: A Thread. There will be many analogies to physical archives. It will not mention technologies/software at all. The tech details will be simplified (for your reading pleasure and based on my own knowledge).
First: what content am I talking about? Born digital and digitized material (not going there on the "what is a record?" debate), under the stewardship of an archive, museum, special collection, or library. I am NOT talking about the "archive" button of your email or your laptop.

This could also rightly be called Archives 101 & Why Theory Matters. This is the way I explain it, other archivists will disagree. Feel free to ask questions or comment how you would explain it differently/how you contextualise it differently.
