Sustainability in Context: An Evidence-based (Digital) Preservation LIfecycle Investigation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The ReVerDi project is developing an evidence-based approach to sustainability optimization for cultural heritage preservation in national libraries. It uses the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment Methodology (LCSA) to explore the environmental, economic, and social impacts of both physical and digital preservation activities. This more accurately reflects our operational contexts than those which produce recommendations on one impact aspect alone. The paper presents our research methodology, outlines how ReVerDi fills a gap in the current research literature, and summarises our progress and thinking to date.
