In this report, we detail what we did to address the challenges posed by preserving and providing access to born-digital cultural artefacts, how we went about the work of locating media artworks from the 1990s, recovering content from obsolete media carriers, and testing Emulation-as-a-Service (EaaS). We consider the potential of emulation for curation, exhibition, and research with examples from case studies. The result of research funded by the Australian Research Council and undertaken in partnership with AARNet, Swinburne University, RMIT University, ACMI, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Griffith University Art Museum, State Library of South Australia, ANAT and Experimenta, this 'good practice report' offers insights for academics, practitioners and industry leaders, whist also foreshadowing the benefits of the shared digital infrastructure we are currently building across Australia that will ensure sustainable access to cultural collections.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Access the report<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><a href="http://hdl.handle.net/1959.3/476262"><span style='color:#0563C1'>http://hdl.handle.net/1959.3/476262</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Stay updated on further research and new projects.
