Abstract
Digital technologies are currently defining the 21st century age. Digital collections are core information and research materials for individuals and organizations. These core resources created for information use are fragile and require maintenance and preservation for future availability and accessibility. The preservation and management of these materials are dependent on the format and media, and digital collections are now been integrated to perform a single purpose of identifying, processing, and retaining the enduring value of digital materials. This chapter focuses on the concept of digital archiving, importance and challenges regarding preservation, accessibility of digital collections, and solutions to the expected challenges of digital archiving to strengthen the roles of information collecting and archiving institutions through the practical solutions provided.
