We use digital technologies to create and share memories in ways that are transforming our behavior and institutions. Today, much correspondence is conducted through e-mail. The everyday activities, major current events and personal observations documented in e-mail and in digital audio and video formats contribute to a complete history of our time. Preserving personal digital materials is a critical piece of preserving the nation's history and culture; it is challenge we all share. Learn what you can do to support digital preservation.
