    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Drawing on the author’s extensive experience working in the field, the book effectively highlights the challenges involved in preserving the vast number of born-digital photographs and emphasizes how urgent the need to democratize long-term preservation is. Delving into the technology surrounding the preservation of born-digital collections, the book enables the reader to obtain the necessary knowledge of theory and practice to immerse themselves and make a significant impact in preserving born-digital photography. Schisler’s approach centers on comprehending essential requirements and adapting to changing possibilities in tools, systems, software, and hardware. Such a perspective equips readers to navigate the dynamic landscape in which they find themselves. The book also presents a critical approach to thinking about our production of images and what we can and should preserve for future generations.


    The Preservation of Born-digital Photographs will be valuable to aspiring and experienced professionals within cultural heritage institutions, such as libraries, archives, and museums, as well as those in other settings who are responsible for the care and preservation of born-digital photographs.
