<strong>Background:</strong>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The need to preserve the history of the rapidly evolving field of media arts has spurred the development of a wide variety of archives throughout the world. Many museums, organisations, institutions, as well as individuals with collections have developed physical and/or online archives in an effort to preserve important artefacts and document events and artworks. The field of digital and electronic art has expanded to include objects and experiences that challenge historical archival practices. Ever-evolving technology standards necessitate an ongoing investigation of what it means to preserve and document works that defy contemporary archival practices. In an effort to preserve and make new media artworks accessible to future generations, we must constantly adapt to new means of information consumption, dissemination, assessment, and preservation.
