This text contains chapters about born-digital archives and their preservation using born-digital primary records in the humanities. This book is a result of the collaboration between Gábor Palkó, Co-Director of the Centre for Digital Humanities at the Eötvös University, who is interested in the practice and theory of digital archives, and Thorsten Ries, who conducts research on born-digital dossiers génétiques with digital forensic methods at Ghent University. It is is meant to be a programmatic call to intensify cross-sectoral collaboration between galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM institutions) and humanities researchers working in digital preservation. It appeals to students, researchers, and professionals in these fields.
