Guidance upon completion of the Decision Tree

Having completed the Decision Tree, if you have not already developed a policy on selection of digital materials for long-term preservation, it may be useful to refer to the following models, as guidance:

• Berkeley Digital library Sunsite Collection and Preservation Policy, July 1996 http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Admin/collection.html (this is the original model that still inspires many other policies)
• A useful checklist for creating a policy can be found in: Digital Preservation: Best Practise for Museums, 2004
