HERs are receiving greater amounts of digital data, such as fieldwork reports in .pdf format, and ever growing quantities of digital images, especially from the increased use of digital cameras. At the same time, HER’s often create digital data, such as word documents, databases,a and GIS files, as part of their own projects. These all take up increasing amounts of disc or server space and in turn may merit curation as part of a digital archive to ensure their long-term preservation and accessibility. HER managers should consider which parts of their collections will require digital archiving and may need to seek the advice of their host organization regarding their storage and archiving whilst maintaining access to these files. Alternatively, it may be necessary to look at options for depositing these digital files with appropriate local archives or national bodies such as the ADS, who can host the files as part of their archive and allow access to them via a web link.
